I figured the method you listed would work, considering WIN3x is just another
DOS app.  The part I didn't figure was why you would need to run the install
after you installed WIN3.1?   I wouldn't have figured the install would even
be available on the Red Spine version.  What does it do?  

The obvious caveat I guess is that the OS/2 version of WIN is recompiled and
optimised somehow for OS/2.  I never ran anything other than the OS/2 blue
version under OS/2 myself, so I don't know what is so good about the OS/2
version, looks the same as the one  run under MSDOS, which is not so hot.
