Some of the guys in my group have Windows3.0 working under VP/ix, the way
you install it is, bootup on DOS and install it on the DOS partition (you
have to have a DOS partition to install it), then boot up on UNIX and run
VP/ix and run Windows3.0 in the 8088 mode.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
