Oh. Right ! So how do I do networking in Windows 3.0 ? You know, running the
application on a real computer instead of the one having a hard time keeping
control of all the pixels. And as of now, a megapixel display for a PC with
card and software would almost buy me a diskless sparcstation. Which has enough

pig, using System V is certainly a way to make memory manufacturers happy.
