As with most PC programs, Windows 3.1 has a special sequence
of keystrokes that reveal the product's authors. In this case,
you also get an animation as well. Here are the steps:
1. Hold down Ctrl and Shift for the duration of this process.
2. With Program Manager active, do a HELP, ABOUT.
3. Double-click on one of the panes in the window in the upper left
Click OK.
4. Do another HELP, ABOUT in Program Manager.
Double-click the same window pane.
* A flag will fly
Click OK.
5. Do a third HELP, ABOUT in Program Manager
Double-click the same window pane.
This time you will see a cartoon character pointing to
a scrolling list of the Windows 3.1 development team.
Do it a few times using different panes, and eventually you'll
see all 4 cartoon characters.
(The characters are: Bill Gates, Micrsoft CEO (Guy w/glasses),
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft Exec VP (Bald Guy), Brad Silverberg, Vice
President - Microsoft Personal Systems/DOS & Windows (Bearded Guy)
and T-bear (Teddy Bear), Windows 3.1 team mascot).
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
