- On hsdndev.harvard.edu in pub/redir/vunredir.386 is (what I
- hope is) a general-purpose solution to this problem. In theory, it
- should allow any well-behaved, INT2F-style redirector to work in
- conjunction with Windows for Workgroups. In practice, well, let
- me know... To use, simply put the file in your windows directory
- and add ``device=vunredir.386'' to the [386enh] section of system.ini.
