Make Compatible - Options

Options

When it is invoked, one can choose the name of the Windows 3.1 application program image file using the "Choose Program" option on the "File" menu. After the program image file is chosen, Make Compatible by default displays a list of five options that can be set to alter the behaviour of Windows for that program when it is executed:

  • Don't spool to enhanced meta files
  • Give application more stack space
  • Lie about printer device mode size
  • Lie about Windows version number
  • Windows 3.1-style controls

An advanced options mode, selectable via the "Advanced Options" selection on the "File" menu presents a longer list of options, allowing finer control of Windows 3.1 emulation if the particular application requires it.
