Win32s is a subset of Win32 and it runs some, but by no means all, Win32
programs. Any written specifically for Win95, 98, NT4 or 2000 are highly
unlikely to work.

Secondly, warp32s.zip, also on Hobbes, is dated later than w32s125.zip.
The details say it is for Warp 3+ Does this mean Warp 3 + Fixpaks, or does
it mean Warp 3 + Warp 4? Any help would be *very* welcome :)

The warp32s.zip file contains files that update Warp 3 to allow
the use of the w32s125.zip file. The updates in the warp32s.zip
file are already contained in Warp 4.
NOTE - the latest (last) version of WIN32S was version 1.3. Programs
written to use this API level will NOT run under winos2. The defaults
for the version 1.3 WIN32S provide for memeory allocation
above the 512Mbyte limit that is handled by Warp 3 and Warp 4.
The "invalid format" message indicates that the program is
a native WIN95/98 executable file. These files are in
"PE" format rather than "LX" format (the one used by
Win 3.1 and readable by OS/2). The "PE" format executable
files cannot be loaded by OS/2.
There is a "PE2LX" converter available (Alpha code). This is
the "Project Odin" code formerly known as WIN32-OS2.

This project allows you to either convert and run or
"convert on load" PE executable files in OS/2.

OS/2 only identifies the PE format as "some Windows stuff" and starts
Win-OS/2. If that has Win32s installed, it can identify _and load_ PE
executables, provided they are Win32s and don't _demand_ a win32s 1.30.
Some PE executables. Only those that use API calls that can be mapped to OS/2Quote:>There is a "PE2LX" converter available (Alpha code). This is

Can anyone help with w32s125.zip? Is this to enable Win95 programs to be
run in Winos2? I assumed this was the purpose but maybe I am wrong :( I
tried but get an error message:- "Win32s error: invalid format." The
readme of 1995 from IBM says to expect this but I had hoped that this was
superceded by w32s125.zip.
