    Hi...first off, I'd like to ask a question that might be easy to answer.
What's the difference between Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.00a (which came with
my new 386)? 

   Lastly, I just got a nice 386 to upgrade from my 286.  Until school is out
(I'm really busy!), I won't be customizing Windows on the new system because
of so many icons and windows programs I have in the old system.   So, what
I've done is copy everything from the old system to the new one.  Then I
quickly installed a copy of Windows to see what programs I needed to get my
current set-up of Windows to run in 386 mode.  I've tried a few programs and 
have them run in the windows environment with no problems.  This leads to
my main problem:  I've tried running WordPerfect 5.0 in a window and even
out, and it gives me an error:  

	"This application has violated system integrity and will
	be terminated.  Please exit windows...."

    I ran windows in standard mode on the new system and it worked fine
(outside of Windows of course).  Has anybody encountered this problem before?
Do I need to increase the KB memory in my PIF file?  Is it because I copy my
set-up from my 286 to the 386 and things didn't initialize properly?
I'd like to get WordPerfect to run and appreciate any help possible!!!  
Thanks in advance...

-Mike
