The primary design goal of Windoze 3.10 was to get rid of the
multitudinous UAEs ("Unexpected Application Error"s)
To some extent, they succeeded. (Now they were EXPECTED.)
For the difference between 3.10 and 3.11, use the built-in calculator
accessory to subtract 3.10 from 3.11. What do you get?
UAE was a poor choice for an error message, as few if any knew what it
meant. It was replaced by the even less understood "General Protection
Fault". The issue of the message was finally addressed with the change to
"program has performed an illegal operation", which had the major benefit
of pointing the blame away from the operating system. (even though it was
often Windoze that had done the dastardly deed.)
