DOSX.EXE Startup
As mentioned earlier, you can start Windows 3.1 StandardĆMode simply by
running WIN.COM. An alternative method is to run DOSX.EXE directly. If you
run DOSX.EXE directly, the WIN.COM and WSWAP.EXE files can be left out of
the system to save space. This configuration does not support execution of DOS
programs. For a more detailed discussion of Windows startup, see chapter 1 of
the book
Windows Internals
, by Matt Pietrek.
Windows Components
The components included for the 6300 Computer systems equipped with
Windows 3.1 are listed below.
Each of the files in these tables are marked Optional" or Required." Any of the
Optional" components may be deleted from the configuration if you decide that
