PO7 currnetly comes in 3 OS specific versions. Win 3.1, Win 95 and Win NT Workstation. They operate ONLY on their intended OS. I know of an example of a fellow who managed to run the Win 3.1 version on NT 3.51 but it was not a pretty process to set it up.

The Win NT version WILL work on both 3.51 and 4.0. I run both. However, it is not available as an evaluation product to the best of my knowledge. The FREE Win 31 and Win 95 trial CDs may be ordered through Oracle's Web site (for about $15 shiping).
