Hi Terence and all
This qualitative (old) Windows OS information is probably 'coals to
Newcastle' for most ... FWIW
What we have (on one of the last remaining W95 machines) in this office is
labelled 4.00.950a.
The version of W95 for persons who want a thin windows OS is the last
edition before incorporation into Windows 98 - colloqually called 'Win95b'.
A better (but slightly fatter solution is Win98SE - installed with only the
features that the user really requires. As usual, earlier versions of Win98
had bugs. Win98SE has better plug an play and driver catalogues for
peripherals, than W95b.
Unfortunately Win98 was (I believe) where the Internet Explorer (browser)
became integral with Explorer (file manager) - people can correct me if I'm
wrong. Certainly, its hard to load without some rubbish remaining.
Hope this is of some help to someone
Gaz

The version 4.00.950 of Windows 95 has now been tested
and has been found to be free of the DOS problems reported.
This version runs all the tests correctly; DOS and DOS in Windows.
This leaves 4.00.1111, 4.00.1998 and 4.01.2222 as having problems.
