Win32s OLE-enabled -- Many applications have started to make
use of this library extension from Microsoft. Win32s installs into the
system directory of Windows and allows Windows 3.x users to run
32-bit applications. Applications that now require Win32s include
Mosaic, VMPEG Lite, MPEGPlay, WebWizard 32, WS-FTP 32,
WinQVT 32, WinVN 32, Whois 32, Sesame, and a few others.
Win95 and Windows NT users won't need Win32s for running
32-bit applications. It is generally a good idea to first install the
Win32s library before installing any 32-bit applications; however,
most of the time it usually works in the reverse manner as well.
Also, Win32s 1.25 will not work with OS/2 as of yet; the newest
version that will work with OS/2 is Win32s 1.15.
Pros: If you have Windows 3.x and want to run 32-bit apps, this is
a must-have client
Cons: Win32s sometimes causes installation problems, Win95 and
NT users won't need
New: No obvious new features in version 1.30a
Version Reviewed: 1.30a

I noticed there is no "indepth" of what the program will do for me....
I need something,for Win 3.1, to cover up DOS 6.21 and enable me to use MORE than three letter extensions. I have a need to be able to upload HTML files as ".html" as opposed to ".htm" for a web site (the site can't see .htm!)
Of course, DOS, in Win 3.1, does not allow more extension characters than three..... help!!!
