Dan:
   Win31 was a 16 bit operating system and win32 is a 32 bit operating
   system.

   Because win31 has 16 bit dlls you may find not all the win32 software
   will work and may crash your system.

   There is another option that you have and that is to upgrade win31
   to win32. The software to do this and instructions are at :
   http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q122/2/35.asp

   WARNING *** Be sure you have a complete backup of your system before
           you try any upgrades because win31 is very unforgiving.
           If you don't understand the instructions fully or understand
           how to do a backup then get help from someone who is an expert
           that lives near your home in doing the upgrade.
