The reason why they can not support Windows 3.0 is that they
are using Rational Systems dos-extender which previously
had the capacity to let protected mode applications
run under windows as long as the the protected mode
application did not any windows system calls.  
Rational Systems is hard at working providing 
a windows 3 compatibility for protected mode.  
Bet money that once rational systems provides
the capabilty, Imagen Releases UltraScript
within weeks :-)


Just an educated guess.
