I have an April 1992 patch kit for DR DOS 6 which provided compatibility
with Windows 3.1.  Not certain if this is what you want.  Windows 3.0
would install okay on the original DR DOS 6, but Windows 3.1 would not --
according to my own memory, which may well be incorrect.

I understand that there was also a March 1993 update for compatibility
with Windows for Workgroups.  I have not been able to locate this patch
anywhere, however.  Sorry.
