- That doesn't appear to be strictly correct.
-
- Rumor has it that it requires the OLE DLLs, which are supplied with
- more OLE aware applications (although not Powerpoint 3.0, it seems).
- Those DLLs can be copied from any Windows 3.1 installation (installing
- any other OLE aware application should do the trick, too). PP 3.0 may
- also require the 3.1 help engine, which is also available for Win-OS/2
- (at the Windows ftp sites).
-
- Any more information on this application is welcome.
