- I seem to remember that Release 3.1 had a bug which caused problems on
- the 486SX (it assumed a math coprocessor was present when it wasn't).
- Lotus should certainly have a free patch for you -- call them for
- details.
-
- Note that Lotus has a very nice OS/2 version of 1-2-3. They should be
- able to upgrade you for $49 if your 3.1 is a recent purchase. Again,
- contact them for details.
