I was installing MS Windows 3.1 on my 386 system and just after disk #2
when Windows starts up I got a "Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender"
error message followed by a dump of the register contents.  I called up
Microsoft Tech Support (after 6 hours of busy signals) and they informed
me that there are some problems with running Win 3.1 in Standard mode
under DR-DOS 5.0 and they *think* some patches released by DRI will fix
the problem.

Well, I booted my system using that old MS-DOS 3.3 floppy I thought I'd
never use again and installed Win 3.1.  Under DR-DOS 5.0 I sure can't
run Win 3.1 in Standard mode, but everything seems to work fine in
Enhanced mode.

The tech support person also mentioned that Microsoft will be offering,
in a week or so, a reduced price upgrade offer so that us poor souls who
foolishly use DR-DOS can cheaply upgrade to MS-DOS 5.0.  Seeing as how I
remember reading something in Info World a few weeks (months?) back about
some probems DR-DOS 6.0 has with Win 3.1 that Microsoft wasn't planning
on fixing, I may just do that.
