According to numerous summaries of Windows 3 (both in the Microsoft 
documentation and in published reviews) there is no run-time version of 
Windows 3.  A software vendor could probably swing a deal with Microsoft to
package the full Windows 3 system with its product, but at the relatively
small cost ($90-110 on the street) for the full Windows 3 system there
is relatively little need for a dedicated version.  Clearly, there will be
some cases where a potential user has no need for using Windows on more
than one application, but to me it's significant that this is the first
time I've seen or heard of anyone seriously asking about the run-time system.
