Its important for people to realize that marking their applications
as 3.0 compatible may cause them more grief in the long-run.  The 
`use win/r' dialog that comes up when you run a pre-3.0 app is there for
your benefit.  Any app can be marked but since it hasn't been tested, 
there may be lurking protection faults.  A user that marks an app as
win 3.0 compatible which then crashes after he enters a bunch of data
will be pissed. 

I'm not saying don't do it but if you must mark your apps, caveat emptor.
