→Win31DOSBox: grammar
Win31DOSBox is a fork of DOSBox that aims to be an easy method of playing Windows 3.xx games on your computer. It has an easy setup program and has the ability to print from Windows 3.11. (Might need some tweaking.)
To get started with Win31DOSBox you first need a copy of either Windows 3.11 or WfW (Windows for Workgroups) 3.11 (IMG, CD, or MSDN download) and once you have that you need to put either the 6 (Windows 3.11) or 9 (WfW 3.11) IMG files if you are using those, the ISO file which is only for WfW 3.11, or the MSDN self-extracting .exe.
After that, you then can run InstallWin31DOSBox.exe which will automatically install Windows for you. Once Windows is installed , check that everything works and then install Video for Windows and Quicktime which is located in the Video folder in Program Manager. It is also recommended to install WinG and Win32s aswell.
To get software onto the system there are multiple ways. For folders and files, you can drag the, them into the C-DRIVE folder. If you have a physical CD you can just insert it into your CD drive. If it's a CD image you need to mount it using a software like Virtual CloneDrive. If it's a floppy disk image you need to drag the respective images over the Extract to A-Drive Folder.exe program which will extract them to the A-DRIVE folder.
