Hi, has anyone tried installing Windows 3.1 on Soft AT 2.5?
(that's the "new" version of SoftAT, not the add-on module.)
The setup program dies when it tries to install the XMS manager
and SoftAT puts up a dialog that says, "SoftAT cannot access
more than 1 Meg."   I have 2 megs of LIM installed, so what
going on?

I do realize, of course, that the info in the setup disk says
lots of memory managers are incompatible with Windows 3.1.
I was able to install Windows 3.0 so this must be one of Microsoft's
dirty tricks again!
