What I've done here at CLSIA is to set up the computer as a "dual-boot"
device...I've partitioned the hard disk into two major divisions.  One
handles REAL32/Isodat and Win3.11 and the other runs Win95.  So we can run
the machine, and then reboot into Win95, manipulate the data, and send the
data around to other machines in the local lab ethernet or elsewhere.
Like others have said I have found no easy way to do this in a seamless
fashion...the partition gets it done, but its not super slick.  Until
Finnigan gets the new version together I see no other options.
