IBM has stated that the CA/400 hasn't been tested with the OEM versions of
Windows/95. I was referring to the OEM version when I wrote Version B... As
we have been deploying Windows/95 here at the ESD we have found that we
need to reinstall a non OEM version of Windows/95 (Version A) in order for
the Client 32 - Windows/95 mix to be reasonably stable.

As for SCANDISK... We have found that if we ever have to shut down a
Windows/95 PC abnormally, that is we can't bring it down to the point where
it says "You can now turn off the system", running SCANDISK seems to fix
problems that might have occurred by powering off the PC while files were
still open. 

When I have a problem with programs abending or being unable to power down
correctly on my Win/95 desktop, 95% of the time after I run SCANDISK the
program will run correctly and I'm able to power down successfully. 

I'm not exactly sure what SCANDISK does, but I like the results.
