You take your choice and pay your price.  I did it on three machines and
3 of 3 worked very weird from odd things to total failure.  No data
loss however (it didn't lose anything I had had on my disk, some
failures resulted in loss of what I was doing at the time).  I also
tried to do it with a reformat and restore using wpsbck procedures.
Also real weird results.  The problem there seemed to be that it was
overwriting what 2.1 had installed for the desktop including all of the
templates.  My programs didn't seem to recognize Win 3.1 after I did
the wpsrest.cmd.  Oh well, as usual with betas, milage may vary.
