I think so. If you run Win95, you should get better results, overall,
from running Yarn95. I have been using Yarn95 since I began running
Win95, and, so far, it has never crashed, due to lack of memory or
resources. AFAIK, Yarn95 takes better advantage of Win95's memory
and/or resources. I am not really a technically-oriented type of user,
so I can't explain exactly how it works. All I know is that it DOES
:)... Also, with Yarn95, you can create Win95 shortcuts (formerly PIF
files under Win3.x), that you can configure (under Properties) to point
to BAT files for Yarn functions, for example. BTW, my computer is a
486DX66 with 12 MB RAM.

HTH.
