Hmm, but that (3.3) is the DOS-version, isn't it, while 3.1 or 3.0 are
Windows-Versions, 3.0 (I believe, but this might be 3.1 versus 3.11)
the last one to run on 8088 class machines.  And in those days windows
and dos were to distinct products, with dos the OS and windows running
on top of DOS (pretty much any, except DR-DOS, for which explicit code
existed in Windows to make it run worse instead of better).
