- VPIX will run Windows 3.0 but not 3.1 ( ISC 2.2 would also run Windows 3.0
- with an applied patch - sorry I do not remember the number.)
- I am told that an update to VPIX is in the works. It may run Windows 3.1 but
- protected mode OS within protected mode OS will be tricky.

- I have been having some problems (the jury is still out as to the resolution)
- but Tech Support has elevated the problem to the developers to try and get
- resolution. If I do not get resolution I will join the flame.
