Win 3.0

There was quite a bit of discussion when it first appeared about the compatibility with XT computers, hence the real mode operation. You can still find out some interesting information about starting Windows buy typing "win /?" at the command prompt. Real mode compatibility was removed for version 3.1. Interesting sidelight, if you were running a machine capable of using Windows in enhanced mode, the speed of the machine sometimes picked up if it was started in Standard mode. As I recall, it was because some of the enhanced features such as "multitasking" were disabled in standard mode.
