- I assume it's because IBM is able to use Win 3.0 code in one vdm,
- Win 3.1 code in another vdm, and Win 2.x code in yet another.
- I wouldn't be surprised if there appeared an option to choose
- between a Win 2.x, 3.0, and 3.1 vdm in the Win-OS2 settings after
- the CSD is applied.

- This is just a guess.
