   Win32s is a sumset of Win32, and it initially appeared in the Windows 3.x days.   
    It provided a limited subset of Win32 functionality for 16 bit apps.  Win32s   
   isn't an OS/2 thing, it's a Microsoft thing.

   ArcaOS is what I'd like to really resurrect my old BBS under, though it looks   
   like it's likely to come back under DOS/Qemu under Linux or Win64 first.
