I've used nonag successfully on the following .exe files:

Aporia.exe
Aplib.exe  (Aporia and aplib form a desktop enhancement package Aporia
		is really incompatible with win3: it has a function
where it tells you about your system, memory etc, which crashest win3.
It also crashes win3 if you exit win3 without closing aporia. Apart
from that, it seems to work fine.

WinQVT 4.15: works just fine under win 3.0 I've been noticing some
problems with recreating the window after it's been iconised, but I
don't know if the problem is specific to Winqvt+Win3.0 or not. What
happens is that when I double-click on the icon, sometimes the window
is empty, looks like an empty frame, and gets filled with whatever is
"lying beneath" it. The program still works fine, and once I start
doing things in the window, it recreates itself.

I *think* I've run nonag on Unicom 1.4 and GCP42S, but I can't
guarantee that. I think that in general I had problems running any
pd/shareware software written for win 2.xx (under win3.0) that had any
kind of memory utilities (show memory etc).
