<tip type="multiple IE versions on the same machine">

* Caution: getting this wrong will most likely require you to re-install
Windows. You have been warned.

1. Install IE4, choosing a standard installation.
2. Start installing IE5. Choose a custom installation. In the installation
options, choose "Advanced", and ensure that the "Compatability Mode" option
is selected.
3. After IE5 has installed, download the 16 bit version of IE3 for Win3.1
4. Start installing the 16-bit version of IE3, ensuring that you change the
installation directory.
5. During the installation of IE3, choose a custom installation. Ensure that
the TCP/IP stack option is NOT selected. Using the IE3 16-bit TCP/IP stack
will destroy your ability to use TCP/IP.

You can happily run IE3 at the same time as IE4 or 5. However, you will need
to close IE4 before running 5, and vice versa.

Of course, all these browsers are available from http://browsers.evolt.org
=)
