Hi,

Somebody recently posted a message indicated they were having problems running
Lotus 3.0 under MS-Windows 3.0 and asking the net for help.  I did NOT keep
the message (since I don't have EITHER Lotus 3.0 OR MS-Windows 3.0), and only
noted the problem since I am planning on getting MS-Windows soon.  However,
while I am NOT sure, I do believe I have an indication that the answer to
your problem is that it can NOT be done or at the very least there are
problems.  I got an announcement in the mail today from Lotus trying to get
me to upgrade to 3.1 (NOT 3.0).  The following two quotes are from the cover
letter and glossy.  I will let YOU read between the lines and apply it to
your own situation:

COVER LETTER:

"And if you're a Windows 3.0 user, you'll be happy to know that Release 3.1
is not only fully compatible with DOS, but also with DOS with Windows 3.0."

GLOSSY:

"Compatibility
1-2-3 Release 3.1 supports all three operating modes of Windows 3.0."
