I have done a few WtN3 installations,

and my complete development environ-

ment 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 feel-

ing for the front end is favorable.

As for the programming environment,

it would seem that any group of program-

mers/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 En-

hanced 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 perfor-

mance, she would have a

stagehand walk on stage and

hand her a note. She would

appear somewhat surprised,

then read the note, and final-

ly turn back to the audience:

“I’ve been asked to an-

nounce that a lost pocket-

book 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 pocket-

book, you can go to Helen

Hunt for it!”
