I've done it and it works fine.  It's a littleslow though (I' running
on a Compaq-386/16.  I suspect the reason for the slowness is that I
make it run in64K, and I think it would really rather use some extended
memory to speed things up.  However, when I installed it I disabled the
use of extended memory since I thought it would interfere with OS/2.

By the way, if OS2 is Microsoft's idea of the OS for the "next 1000
great applications, why does it go ahead and put out Word for Windows
before Word for PM?
