Subject: Re: MASM 6.1 vs 6.11
16-bit Windows runs exceptionally well[1] on modern
hardware, as
long as you can get driver support. And if you are doing
low-level programming on older processors, the tools are all DOS
based anyway. Virtual DOS sessions run well enough inside
Windows 3.11. And of course, you can run DOS and Windows 3
inside a virtual machine, i.e. Bochs on your favorite free 'unix'
variant.
[1]As well as 16 bit Windows ever _could_, I should qualify.
I am either going to use my 386DX/40 or 486/133 VLB system for it, both run
Windows 3.11 (WFW)
