I've been using Stacker 2.0 with Windows 3.0 for several months now with no problem.
I think Stacker's a great product and I'd recommend to anyone.  But, before 
installing Windows 3.1 I'd strongly suggest a complete backup of your system.
I installed Win 3.1 last night with no problem.  I started Windows and was checking
out the new features when all of sudden the message "Cannot access drive D:" starts
popping up every few seconds. I decided to exist Windows and while existing the 
message popped up several times.  At the DOS prompt I ran SCHECK which found
570 errors - lost clusters and directory entries (something like that, I don't 
remember the exact wording of the error messages, but basically the FAT was trashed).
PCTools diskfix was able to recover most of the lost directories and files; also I had 
done a full backup about two weeks ago so no information was totally lost.  But the
potential for disaster is there so better safe than sorry - do a backup first.
