#Windows 3.11 was not otherwise known as "Windows for workgroups". The product was named "Windows for workgroups 3.11", the reason being that there's also a regular ass Windows 3.11!

Also, you could buy an upgrade for 3.1 to "for workgroups".
All information I could find online suggests that running Wabi on #solaris 8 should be impossible.
The Oracle docs suggest that, there are newsgroup posts about people saying it doesn't work, or that complex workarounds are required.

jordanYou'd be surprised how aggressively these old educational games are protected by their rights holders. I had to buy a physical copy. Weird for something that came out in 1995. Surely they aren't still making money on this Windows 3.1 game, right?
