RE: SmartWords

["Frank Kenneth B." KBF@xxxxxxxx]

Actually I don't recall saying SW would run under OS/2, because I don't
think we have tested it. Our website Win 3.1 reference was intended to
relate to the integrated intelligent apps, like we have shipped in the legal
market, and not primarily the editor itself. However it has been some time
since we did anything with Windows 3.1, and I know our engineers consider
its memory management to be decidedly inferior to later Windows releases, so
there may well be problems.

And another of Mr. Frank's messages said that SmartWords would run under
OS/2.


Puzzling. The Windows version that OS/2 uses is Windows 3.1. Nota Bene
programmers have said that they cannot recommend the Windows version of
Nota Bene, which is based on the SmartWords engine, for anything but
Windows 95+; they've had difficulties with Win 3.1 but hope to resolve them
later on.

And your TTG website, in the Free Software section, shows a SmartWords
demo, still TK, that requires Win 95.

Will SmartWords in fact run on my machine, with OS/2 and Win 3.1?

TIA for clarification,
