There have been several of these postings recently, so I emailed a ZDS
engineer who occasionally monitors this traffic to seek his opinion.  They
haven't had any problems with Win 3.0 beyond getting it to coexist with
Novell in the office he works in.  But he noted that they were working with
Zenith's version of Win 3.0, not the generic MSDOS version.  

Maybe there's some important distinction between the two.  Any knowledgable
folks care to comment and/or tell us Z owners how we go about getting
the RIGHT stuff? :)
