        Thanks to everyone who answered my cry for help as well as everyone
who posted in the newsgroup.
        I managed to install Win 3.1 by simply deleteing all *.EXE files.
It seems to me that SETUP doesn't copy them if they already exist.
        Still, I don't know why I can run Win 3.1 in STANDARD mode with
386MAX when the MAX manual says I can't. Any idea?
        Also, SETUP dies when it tries to install the *.FON files from
disk #1. My solution-- copy disk #1 and disk #2 on the HD and run SETUP there.
It works fine.
        I am very pleased with Stacker so far-- I have no problems at all. No
READ-ONLY disks, etc. So, Stacker was didn't cause any problems when installing
Win 3.1.
        Thanks again for the help. Have fun with Win 3.1.
