- No, the Windows for Pen extensions are not supported on the first release
- of Windows NT. We think that the Pen-based market will favour the features
- of rom-based ms-dos & windows 3.1 and other "portable" features over
- those of Windows NT in the short term, and have decided to expend our
- finite resources on further developping other features for Windows NT
- in this first release.

- If you can define a particular market need for the features of Windows NT
- and the Pen extensions, we'd be interested in that feedback - do send it
- to me
