  25. At the IBM OS/2 seminar I attended this evening (4th out of 5), one of the
  26. presenters read out an item from todays internal IBM forums. Apparently, the
  27. Win3.1 support in the CSD will support Win3.1 *and* all Win3.0 programs
  28. INCLUDING THOSE THAT CAN'T RUN UNDER MS WIN3.1.
  29.  
  30. In other words: a better Windows than Windows.
