available for Windows 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.x.

A maintenance diskette, WIN311.ZIP is available. The software is not an 
upgrade but rather code modifications enabling OS/2 for Windows to be 
compatible with MS Windows 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.x.

MS Windows and OS/2 for Windows must be installed before installing

number is P83G8740. These diskettes were sent to area PSM Brand 
Managers.

WIN311.ZIP is available from:

* OS2BBS:      OS/2 Fix section of software library

* Prodigy:     Fix section of download library--IBM files section

* Internet:    SOFTWARE.WATSON.IBM.COM

Some systems receive errors because of read-only files. If errors 
occur, type ATTRIB -r filename to remove the read-only attribute. For 
filename, use the name of the file in the error.

Installing if WIN-OS/2 Support is Not Installed
-----------------------------------------------
1. Run Selective Install for WIN-OS/2 support. (If the Service Pak is
   installed, run A:SERVICE from the Service Pak diskettes before
   continuing with the WIN311.ZIP installation.)

2. Type PKUNZIP WIN311-D A: and press Enter.

3. Go to an OS/2 Full Screen and change to the drive where Windows is
   installed; then type x: and press Enter (x is the drive where
   Windows is installed).

4. Type A:\INSTALL and press Enter.

5. Remove the diskette; then shut down and restart the system.

Installing with WIN-OS/2 Already Installed
------------------------------------------
1. Type PKUNZIP WIN311 -D A: and press Enter.

2. Go to an OS/2 Full Screen and change to the drive where Windows is
   installed; then type x: and press Enter (x is the drive where
   Windows is installed).

3. Type A:\INSTALL and press Enter.

4. Remove the diskette; then shut down and restart the system.

Upgrading Windows 3.1 to Windows for Workgroups
-----------------------------------------------
1. Install Windows for Workgroups over Windows 3.1.

   Note: If the system has Dual Boot or Boot Manager, you must switch
         to DOS for the installation.

2. Install WIN311.ZIP to be compatible with OS/2.

3. Insert a diskette in drive A. Using PKUNZIP from the root directory,
   type PKUNZIP WIN311 -D A: and press Enter.

4. Go to an OS/2 Full Screen session and change to the drive where
   Windows is installed; then type x: and press Enter (x is the drive
   where Windows is installed).

5. Type A:\INSTALL and press Enter.

Note: After installation of the maintenance diskette, the message,
      "Install successfully completed" appears.

If you do a Selective Install of WIN-OS/2 after applying WIN311.ZIP, or 
reapply the Service Pak diskettes, you need to reapply the WIN311.ZIP. 
WIN311.ZIP must always be installed LAST.

COM Ports Not Available when Using OS/2 Warp for Windows with XR06300 
and Windows for Workgroups 3.11
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When running OS/2 Warp for Windows with Windows for Workgroups 3.11, 
WIN311.ZIP should be used. After applying WIN311.ZIP, WIN-OS/2 should 
work except when the error message, "Comm ports not available" appears.
The COMM.DRV driver in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is different from 
the COMM.DRV driver in standard Windows 3.10. WIN311.ZIP did not 
address the driver.

Resolution

Use the COMM.DRV file from standard Windows 3.10, not the COMM.DRV 
included with Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

Procedure
---------
Replace the Windows for Workgroups COMM.DRV, which is in the 
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, with the COMM.DRV from the standard Windows 
3.10.
