Windows 95 Post-Beta Prerelease Build 501 ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Build 501 was created on June 21, 1995. It is the latest version of Windows 95. This is generally considered to be "Release Candidate #2". To install, unzip all 18 zip files into a subdirectory on your hard drive. It will take approximately 34 megs for this, plus you should have an extra 50 megabytes free for the Windows 95 operating system installation. Windows95 now comes with a README.TXT file. You may want to browse this to see if there is anything of concern for your installation. There is also a SETUP.TXT which details some possible setup conflicts. Once you have unzipped the files to a subdirectory, switch to that subdirectory and run setup.exe. Windows95 will proceed to install. Windows 95 has come a long way since the early builds, and is now a viable and (fairly) stable platform for every day use. If you need bonafide dos, you can hit F4 (or F8) during the bootup (before the Windows95 graphic comes up), and your old version of DOS will boot. To get this to work, you should boot into windows, and edit the c:\msdos.sys file. You can do this by running command.com and: "attrib -s -h -r c:\msdos.sys" "edit c:\msdos.sys" add the line "BootMulti=1" under the [Options] header save the file Windows95 does not require your drive to be repartitioned, and runs under the normal FAT system. It uses a kludge to allow long filenames - you should not run directory sorting utilities like Norton DS or it will trash your long filenames. Windows95 runs Windows16 (old windows applications) as well or better than Windows 3.1x did, and also allows you to run many new full 32-bit Windows32 applications. It multitasks DOS sessions quite adequately as well. This Windows95 Beta has been brought to you by the folks at The Lexicon of the Cabal BBS, which will continue to bring you new and exciting applications, operating systems, and utilities.
