Windows 3.0 does not work, even when run in real mode, under Open
Desktop 1.0.  It does work under the version of Merge included
with Open Desktop 1.1.  I'm not familiar with VP/ix myself; I know
that there was work done to it to support Windows 3.0, but I'm not
sure which release that is.  Now, if Windows 3.0 had been a well-
behaved DOS app... :-)
