I wrote to Digitalk, and they toldme that they had no plans for a
Windows version of Smalltalk. Seems even more unlikely now that IBM
has decided that Smalltalk/PM is to be a standard part of their
development tools.

My guess is that it will not run. I'll check once I have both Win3.0
and V/286 installed. I *believe* that the new himem.sys makes *all*
extended memory XMS memory. Also, I don't think that the virtual 86
mode of Win 3.0 will allow protected mode operations. 

Sigh... So I'll need a program that allows me tochange config.sys and
reboot any pointers? I know that some were recently put on the net.
