USERS.EXE

[vbdasc]

The Windows/286 2.11 diskettes contain a file named USERS.EXE . Windows/386 2.11 has no such file. Does anybody know what is it for? Thanks.

P.S. It's apparently a version of the Win16 USER library... but the thing is, both Windows/286 and Windows/386 come with an USER library, named USERF.EXE . Why does Windows/286 need two USER libraries?

To get Excel 2.1 and run-time Windows to work properly, reinstall the run- time
version of Windows with the "No Extended Memory" option during Setup. At this
point, Setup determines which of the following user files to load:

- USERS.EXE, which is called the "skinny user," because it allows no high
memory functionality

-or-

- USERF.EXE, which is called the "fat user," because it uses high memory
functionality

Aw cr@p, how did I miss that? My web searching skills apparently need polishing... Thanks!
