Although I sent something to the original author already, and it got
lost.  The basic answer was that you have to get Lotus 1-2-3 Release
3.1.  It uses DPMI for its protected mode interface as opposed to
release 3.0 which used VCPI which cannot handle more than one protected
mode operating system which WIN 3.0 enhanced is.

It is a free upgrade if you purchased 123 r3.0 after May 7,1990.
Otherwise it cost $35. For 2.2 users it cost $75 and for others $150.

Release 3.1 also comes with mouse support and a graphical interface
kinda like Always.
