Re:Open Sourcing DOS 4 by lproven on Sunday April 28, 2024 @05:52AM (#40187352)
There was indeed a Windows 3.11 and the much more common Windows for Workgroups 3.11 which was a profoundly different product (32-bit disk subsystem & 32-bit networking subsystem -- the first time these pillars of Win9x went out into the world.)

But neither of them ran on any particular version of DOS. They ran on PC DOS, MS-DOS and DR-DOS -- although Microsoft tried very hard to block the latter:

They ran on DOS 3.3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

There's nothing at all that links them especially to MS-DOS 5.
