No.  The new 386^max (version 5) package includes a card which tells you
(after you open the package) that it doesn't support WIN3 except in real
(and maybe standard -- I'm not sure) mode, and that the next update (due
RSN) will.  They use that as an incentive to get you to return the registration
card.

I wouldn't be so concerned if I could use the EMM386.SYS driver packaged
with Windows 3 without having it blow up as soon as some program asks for
LIM memory.  I don't even get far enough to start Windows itself...
