* As far as I have seen, Windows 3.0 does have a command line switch which
* tells windows that you will be running older Windows programs which weren't
* designed for the 3.0 mode.  It would be rediculous for Microsoft to not
* include this feature and leave all the applications developed for Windows
* 2.XX completely unsupported.

But, will MS _tell_ us that the switch is there?  Or will they de-document it
like they have done with the switches in 2.11?
