Installed it without much problem.  I installed it to /u/windows,
put /u/windows in my PATH, and it runs more or less.  Mouse (on a
8-port card) emulations works perfectly.  Comms programs barf at
high speeds, but what's new?

The Microsoft extended memory manager doesn't work,
and of course Microsoft had to change the EMS standard,
so Merge's EMS isn't any use.  Perhaps the next Merge
will handle Microsoft EMS.
