- Windows 3.1 and Win-OS/2 are a bit like oil and water -- you just have
- to watch what you are doing. The preferred route (if you want both on
- your hard drive) is (1) install Windows 3.1; (2) install OS/2 2.0 with
- Win-OS/2; (3) install your Windows applications under Win-OS/2.
-
- The approach you took is fine -- IBM, in fact, released UNIDRV.DLL
- (for HP LaserJet II series and below) to speed up Win-OS/2 printing.

- The DOS_BACKGROUND... setting for your program object may have been
- turned off.

- Incidently, there's an OS/2 version of Mahjongg -- you can find it via
- anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
