3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Super Task Man is currently only supported under Windows 3.1 due to
some of the Windows 3.1 undocumented features that Super Task Uses.
If the authors determine that the demand for a 3.0 version is
warranted, then a version to support 3.0 will also be released.
