Has anyone gotten MathCAD v 3.1 to run under OS/2 2.0?  The README file
for OS/2 mentions MathCAD 3.0, and their hint works to get the thing
installed.  Running it is another matter.

No matter what I try, I get a dialog box telling me that there isn't enough
memory available, and that I should shut down some Windows Apps and try again.
It doesn't seem to matter if I run it from the Workplace, or a separate
Win-OS/2 session.

At one point, I actually did get it running.  However, it was far from
stable.  If I deleted some (un-related) files from my disk, it stopped
running.  Put the files back, and it starts to work.  I assume that this
might have something to do with the amount of disk space available for the
swap file.  Unfortunatly, now that doesn't even work.

Anyone know what magic incantations I need to use to get this thing to
run?  In case it matters, I'm running on a PS/2 Mod 80 with 12Meg memory
and a 70Meg ESDI hard disk.
