Windows 3.1 was Win16. Windows 95 and Windows NT (3.5 and 4) were Win32 and were NT. It was around Windows 3.11 that Microsoft threw in Win32s, which was apparently a deliberate move to stop Windows 3.1 working inside OS/2's virtualisation system (where Windows ran better than it did outside of O

It used to be complete, but when RunRev took the engine over, they neglected to update any of that information since then. Because it's somehow hardcoded, and doesn't actually expose any OS-delivered information directly, it's been wrong, misleading and/or simply deprecated since then. On 03.03
