- I have just another solution for your problem. Install Powerpoint on another
- machine, that runs DOS & Win 3.1, then ZIP the installation on an multivolume
- ZIP-Archive with the brandnew PKZIP 2.04c to several diskettes and unZIP
- it on your NT machine.

- I am using Powerpoint 3.0 from a network drive, that was once installed
- under WIN 3.1. I had no problems using it so far. After the first
- execution of Powerpoint, it even creates the correct entries in the
- registry to use OLE, which other products like Winword don't.
