= WINDOWS 95 NOTES =

The Pss.bat batch file may be used in Windows 95 IF you manually check the version of the shared files (those copied to the C:folder). These files are:

Mvfs12.dll 56,832 9-07-95 Windows Dib.drv 30,544 1-27-95 Windows Shareres.dll 37,888 1-27-95 Windows Ctl3dv2.dll 21,648 2-01-95 Windows Msinfo.exe 40,960 1-27-95 Windows

If any files on your machine are newer than the files being installed, rename the newer files and run the Pss.bat batch file. When you are finished, rename the files to their original filenames. Overwrite the necessary files (when the renamed files are newer then those installed).
