Microsoft WinPad build 3203 is a build of WinPad for Windows 3.1 as an SDK. It was originally leaked by TBG, and later shared by former beta-scene member KenOath.[1] This build can run via running w.bat from MS-DOS or by changing the working directory of the Windows program to the SYSTEM subfolder (of the installation directory). This build introduces a new splash screen and moves the interface to the left. Although KenOath had a copy of the CD,[2] only the floppy disk version of this build was shared. Later, a photo of the CD alongside its booklets was shown by Term24 on 11 November 2022, who uploaded a dump of the CD to the Internet Archive a day later.[3]
Installation[edit | edit source]
The installation is straightforward on Windows 3.1:
- Insert disk 1 or the CD and launch setup.
- Select the desired setup type (full PDK or WinPad emulator only)
- Floppy install only: Switch disks if prompted.
- After installation, WinPad can be launched in two ways:
- Start WinPad from the Program Manager. The working directory needs to be changed, though, as not doing so can cause WinPad to spew errors upon launch.
- Exit Windows, if running, and run
w.batto start WinPad.
