- Sorry, Microsoft has documented this as a "feature" of Windows 2.0
- (yes, it did work in 1.1, but then they "fixed it" so that you
- wouldn't be surprised by the output). I complained on the net about
- this about a month ago, but either no one cared then or I didn't have
- an eye-catching subject line.
