Microsoft Windows 3.0 PC WORLD TestDrive - EGA
Released in 1990 by PC World
For DOS
The Windows 3.0 Test Drive is a demo floppy set that was included for
free with issues of PC World. It consists of a stripped down minimal
install Windows 3.0 install and a PC World interactive sideshow.
There was a separate version for EGA and VGA as well as 1.2mb and
1.44mb disk.
This is the EGA-only version. The Setup program gets confused if you
try to install it on a machine with VGA.
To install on a machine or emulator with VGA, edit the [display]
section of the SETUP.INF and add the line:
"vga = 1:ega.drv, "EGA", "133,96,72", , 1:egalogo.lgo, , , , 1:egalogo.rle"
The included Windows files are crippled to prevent running normal
Windows 3.0 software. It is possible to run other Windows 3.0
applications by inserting the string "DEMOAPP" in to an EXE's
application description header.
But it has Solitaire! So what else do you need? :)
