I have done a few WtN3 installations, and my complete development environment is set up under it, so, needless to say, I have been using it and doing a bit of poking around in it. Thus far, I find the from end more than adaquate. I can go into any large WIN3 app like PageMaker or Designer and start running through the pulldowns, pulling up dialog boxes and so forth, and they are responsive, and they seem every bit as responsive as the ones in FP. So, my seat-of-the-pants feeling for the front end is favorable.

As for the programming environment, it would seem that any group of programmers/engineers that were able to do what they did in the confines of MSDOS, should have a cake walk in the WIN3 environment since the memory limitation has been lifted and WIN3 is a superset of

MSDOS.

But realistically, do you think there is much of a chance for a WIN3 port anytime soon since Fox is barely finishing its current FP system? (I sort of doubt it

- but you never know)

Captured from a MSWINDOWS thread <With QEMM 5.1, TSR’s and device drivers can be moved to 386 high memory, eachvirtual DOS session should now have something like 580 KB of avail able memory in Windows 3.0 386 Enhanced mode.> Sounds like this would give you room to breathe.

Moms Mabley, a black stand-up comedienne, used to do her own ‘subroutines”. In the middle of a performance, she would have a stagehand walk on stage and hand her a note. She would appear somewhat surprised, then read the note, and finally turn back to the audience:

“I’ve been asked to announce that a lost pocketbook has been found by a lady in the audience named Helen Hunt. She’ll be in the foyer after the performance, so if you’ve lost your pocketbook, you can go to Helen Hunt for it!”
