Re: Seeing VERSIONINFO under Vista?

Any file management subroutine library that safely stored files was more reliable than Windows 95 by several orders of magnitude.

Reliable? Not bloody likely!

Remember that WIn95 was a file management subroutine library with a GUI interface grafted
on. The differences between Win95 and Win16 were mostly in the illlusion that it was a
32-bit operating system (it wasn't: it was a 16-bit file management subroutine library
with a 16- bit GUI attached that happened to run 32-bit programs)

DOS was a file management subroutine library.

That feature alone made it more reliable than 95 by several orders of
magnitude.
