After using Windows 3.1 (the 16 bit one) Windows NT 3.1 was a breath of fresh air. It just kept running. It really didn't crash (except when our HW was broken, and since we were developing it that did happen). 3.51 was if anything better. AIUI NT4 picked up the 9x GUI. Certainly it was not as stable as the earlier ones. Andy |

I'm currently on chapter 4 of The Rust Programming Language, The Stack and the Heap, and have some mental resistance to "_don't_ do as the ints do". Daniel |
