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.
