A gotcha for people installing the Windows 3.0a upgrade from uSoft: it 
doesn't check the release level of the drivers it replaces.  (I'm not
sure just how it *could* in the general case anyway.)  In particular,
if you've got the PSCRIPT.DRV 3.4a from any of the various sources
(e.g., cica), installing Windows 3.0a will downlevel it back to 3.4.

Best thing to do is to just copy the 3.4a file to some other name, then
restore it by overwriting the 3.4 file installed by Windows 3.0a.
