Win32s is only a subset of the 32-bit API that was eventually put into
Windows9x. For this reason, programs created with VB4/32bit and VB5 and later
will *NOT* work on Win3.x, even with Win32s installed. Plain Win3.x won't run
them at all (just gives a black screen which then disappears), but with Win32s,
they will *try* to run, but will bomb out with an error before even getting
started.
