Hello,
I use the german versin of WfW 3.11 (last version from 03/1995)
and the manipulation of "shell=" does not work with Winword 6.0
or MSOffice 4.0. I have many load-errors !!!
The same problem is with Acrobat, Netscape and Eudora 3.05/3.06.
I can use momshell, taskbar, calmira and tasktool, but no other apps.
Michelle
