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.

By the way, there are no "real" releases of Windows 3.0 anywhere in the world.
