Why not upgrade the 486 to Win95?  I use it on my ancient 486 laptop and
it works pretty well.

With 420 Mb hard disk and 16 Mb RAM, it's no upgrade at all. (RAM not even
upgradeable). I prefer a fast 486 with Win 3.1 before a slow one with Win95.

I suppose if you have a bunch of compact Win 3.1 apps you might feel that
way.  My 486 laptop has 20 Mb and a much smaller disk and works fine
for me, but I mostly use it for multiple DOS windows to run the compiler and
text editor.

I have no hope of finding a polling viewer that works in Win 3.1. I want to
know what viewers for Win95+ that poll. I would have checked for myself if I
had access to my PC at home, but it's far away...

I think they ALL support polling.  Based on the pointer to Lars' documentation
in his reply I guess ldglite does the "silent" flavor of polling.  (I suppose
I should consider adding some of those other polling options.)
