Windows 95                                                     Beta 2 Build 275
~~~~~~~~~~                                                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Build 275 was created on December 3rd, 1994.  It is the latest version of
Windows 95, presumably a fix for assorted problems in previous versions.

To install, unzip all 22 files into a subdirectory on your hard drive.  It will
take approximately 40 megs for this, plus you should have an extra 60 megabytes
free for the Windows 95 operating system installation.

Once you have unzipped the files to a subdirectory, switch to that subdirectory
and run setup.exe.  Windows95 will proceed to install.

Windows95 setup can be run from within an existing Windows95 system.

Partway through the installation, Windows95 will ask for a beta site ID and
password.  You may use any valid Beta 2 post-216 ID and password.  One which
has been floating around is:

ID Site:  162330
Password: 01a749138

Windows 95 has come a long way since the early builds, and is now a viable and
(fairly) stable platform for every day use.  If you need bonafide dos, you can
hit F4 during the bootup (before the Windows95 graphic comes up), and your old
version of DOS will boot.  Windows95 does not require your drive to be
repartitioned.  Windows95 runs Windows16 (old windows applications) as well or
better than Windows 3.1x did, and also allows you to run many new full 32-bit
Windows32 applications.  It multitasks DOS sessions quite adequately as well.

This Windows95 Beta has been brought to you by the folks at The Lexicon of the
Cabal BBS.
