- I have installed WINWORD 2 under DOS/WIN 3.1 on a network drive and
- it worked fine under NT/green as well. I haven't tried to install it
- under NT/green or NT/blue. You have to copy some WIN.INI settings from
- the WIN 3.1 to the WINNT WIN.INI to get all features like converting
- Text/Graphics.

- But we had (and still have) a problem on one specific machine a IBM-PS/2
- 90 16MB/27MB Pagefile. WINWORD 2 worked fine for a while on this machine.
- After we did some customizing to NT, WINWORD 2 always said, that it
- doesn't have enough memory to run, while EXCEL and Corel-Draw 3.0 run
- perfectly (faster than under WIN 3.1).
