  Win32s
Microsoft Win32s is an extension for the 16-bit Windows 3.x operating system allowing 32-bit applications compiled for a 32-bit operating system to be executed on 16-bit platforms.
Although ostensibly compatible with early versions of Windows NT, many functions were not implemented—for example: threading and asynchronous I/O, the new serial port functions and many GDI extensions.
In addition, Microsoft made a long series of mysterious and apparently rather pointless changes to Win32s which are widely regarded as a (highly successful) attempt to make it impossible for any third-party to market a compatible platform.

 Installing Win32s
Win32s allows you to run 32-bit Windows applications which do not use Windows NT-specific features under Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups.
Win32s was developed by Microsoft and is freely distributed to licensed users of Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.
Since Microsoft regularly updates the Win32s software, it is a good idea to check periodically to make sure you are using the latest version.

Win32s If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you will need to install (or already have running) Microsoft Win32s 1.30 before you can run AclWin.
Win32s is not required (and cannot even be installed) under Windows 95 or Windows NT.
The win32s installation procedure does a version check on the installed win32s (if any) and proceeds only if there is no already installed win32s or the already installed win32s is out of date.

 Using WinHelp 4.0 In Win32s
It also causes the least possible disruption, since everything is as expected in Windows 95, and in Win32s the only difference from normal for users appears if they go hunting to open the help file by double-clicking.
Once you have Win32s on your system, change the ".HLP" entry in the [Extensions] section of your WIN.INI file from "hlp=winhelp.exe ^.hlp" to "hlp=winhlp32.exe ^.hlp." This changes the WinHelp engine used if you "execute" a help file directly (e.g., by double-clicking in file manager) or if it is called from a 32-bit application.
Version 4.00 of hcw.exe and hcrtf.exe should run OK on Win32s, but because it has not had a test pass, it is not officially supported.

 The Win32s compatibility list
Win32s is an extension for 16-bit Windows (3.1x) that allows the execution of 32-bit programs originally written for 32-bit Windows versions, such as NT 3.x, 4.0 and Win 9x.
And of course we mustn't forget the kind of programs Win32s was originally intended for: a host of Win NT 3.x software (well, "host of software" may be a "bit" exaggerated...;).
Another reason is that all the newer development tools do not support Win32s anymore (the last MS Win32 SDK that ships with Win32s is from 1996, for example), and today's compilers' defaults are usually incompatible to Win32s as well.

The Win32S API functions and the 32-bit versions of the Win 3.1 API from these other vendors are reasonably close, with a few exceptions.
