For our Windows 3.1x users, we use MSIE 3.02a Full-install (4-3.5" disks)
and it works 100% of the time (so long as the user doesn't have an RPI or
some other non-cooperative piece of junk modem). Every once in a while,
we'll come across some error about an environment variable not being loaded
in autoexec.bat, but that's easily fixed by moving anything with
"c:\iexplore" in it to an area in autoexec.bat after the PATH statement and
before loading any other batch files, as well as the "win" line. Sometimes
MSIE puts a few lines at the very beginning of autoexec.bat and so long as
those lines are moved, everything works fine.
