    [Q]: Как пpевpатить обычный Windows 3.1 в Win-OS/2?

    [A]: jari laaksonen

    Если немного поколдовать:

    Here are the files you need from Win-OS/2 to get Ms-Windows 3.1 to
    run under OS/2 2.1GA:

    in \windows directory:
    winos2.com
    winsheld.exe

    in \windows\system directory:
    mouse.drv
    os2gdi.exe
    os2k386.exe
    os2user.exe
    winsclip.dll
    winsdde.dll
    winsmsg.dll
    <video drivers, e.g. supervga.drv + swinvga.drv>

    Add these lines into system.ini:

    [boot]
    sdisplay.drv=swinvga.drv
    useos2shield=1
    os2shield=winsheld.exe
    MAVDMApps=
    WAVDMAPPS=

    (sdisplay.drv means seamless driver)

    Only problem here is that from DOS boot you need to change the mouse.drv to the original because the win-os/2 version prevents Windows loading (and vice versa).
