But this problem is true of *any* version of DOS which creates partitions
greater than 32MB.  In particular, you'd get the same error running Compaq
3.31 on a Compaq.  I believe Norton 4.5 fixes this problem (for both DOS
3.31 and 4.0).

To answer the original poster, I've seen Compaq 3.31 running on a Toshiba
386 laptop with no problems (40MB partition).
