Beside the lack of USB compatibilty, the only one problem Windows 3.1 has is: NO long file name (LFN) support, does anybody know of a way to get this? Doslfn and Lfndos take up a LOT of memory! Do i have to install Dos 7, or something? Thanks.

DOSLFN is a program originally by Henrik Haftmann to provide the long filename (LFN) API in plain DOS (without Windows).

Yes I realise there are a small hardcore who still use it and there are several active newgroups but personally Id say as a valid modern operating system its twilight years are well and truly gone by.No slight intended :D :D
BTW for those still using DOS some limited USB capture may be possible see Bootdisk.com for more info.

Ah, sorry about that, i'll have a little dig around......
