Thanks for the info.  My understanding of the differences between Windows 3.0
and the previous versions is that Windows 3.0 requires code to be 'well
behaved,' which I think means it can't do segmented arithmetic (although I'm
not sure on this).  Presumably something in the file header indicates for
which version of Windows the code is written.  Does anyone know if the JPI
compiler is written to Windows 3.0 standards?
