Moving to Windows 95

[Ron Rothbart <ron -dot- rothbart -at- DOCUMENTUM -dot- COM>]

I'm just about to load Windows 95 (and then Word 7 and RoboHelp 95) and I'm=

confronting the Convert vs. Dual Boot issue.

It appears that I can keep Windows 3.1 and choose to boot up either Windows=
=20
95 or Windows 3.1. However 1) I doubt I will need to use 3.1 and 2)=20
apparently dual boot requires that I re-install my current applications on=
=20
Windows 95 while conversion does not. Reinstalling all my applications=20
sounds like a pain.

I use FrameMaker 5 to produce manuals, but I hear that it works fine on=20
Windows 95. I've been using Collage Capture and Collage Image Manager for=20
screenshots, but I'm thinking of going to PaintShopPro. I need to continue=

to produce WinHelp 3.1 files along with WinHelp 95 files. But, as I=20
understand it, I should be able to run both compilers and produce both=20
Win3.1 and Win95 Help on Windows 95=97as long as I keep Word 6 along with=

this, it doesn't seem like there's a good reason to go the dual boot route.=

Does all this seem correct? Is there any reason that I should keep Windows=
 3.1?
