Win 32 is the 32bit API (application programming interface) used by the MS 32bit operating systems (NT, 95). Win32s is an API which allows WIN32 applications to make 32bit calls to Windows 3.1. It adds whats called a "thunking" layer between the 32bit app and the 16 OS. This allows some applications written for the 32 bit operating systems to run on standard Windows. It does not give you the same performance nor does it implement all of the features but it is nice to have. Joe C.
