But doubleclicking a number to remove knowns doesn't work? Or didn't it work in the 95 version?
Off-topic tangent, but if you like Minesweeper you would really like the games Hexcells and Tametsi, each available for less than $1 on Steam. They're both like Minesweeper but have the improvement that every move can be logically deduced so you never have to guess.
