The keywords says it all.  Does anyone know if Win3.0 will work with
Wollogong's TCP/IP package over an ethernet connection?  I have at last
seen Win3.0 and am impressed.  Up till now I have not been but it looks
very good.  My concerns are how well it will run with the various
software packages that I use al the time.  i understand that I should
be able to run regular DOS stuff in the enhanced 386 mode, what about
programs like Freelance Plus 3.1, Graphwriter II, Magellan 2.0, Agenda,
Manuscript, Rightwriter?

I have a whole bunch of Bitstream fonts installed for Ventura and
Manuscript, will these be useable?  

I doubt if CADKEY 3.5.2 will work as I have to load a different driver
that is specific to CADKEY.

BTW, I will be running all this on an Exceltronix (Canadian clone) BEST
386/33 with 8Mb 80ns memory and a Conners 200Mb HD.  The monitor will
be either a Taxan Ultravision 1150 with PixelWorks UltrClipper (8
bitplane) card or a NEC 5D with a Vermont Microsystems 1280 (8
bitplane) card.  (I haven't recieved the stuff yet but am pulling my
hair out waiting!!!!! :-))
