I also got SAS v6.10 running fine on WIN95. However mine was already installed when I loaded WIN 95.

Now for the bad news. SAS DOES NOT SUPPORT v6.10 under WIN95 (see the current SAS usage note V6-SYS.SYS-A393! below) The file SASWIN95.ZIP has been removed from the FTP server because of problems with 6.10. As point of fact the current release of 6.11 ts020 is regarded as EXPERIMENTAL under WIN95. (Though it works beautifully- so far)
