this sucks, and need to be re-written.
Concerns about technicalities
It says that Win/396 can run under Win/386, but then that would mean that the 386 mode hypervisor, can run VM386 Apps and not just VM86 Apps on a 386, Whereas, my experience was that Win386 could run multiple VM86 tasks, the first, MS-DOS was the first 640K, and HiMem under 1Mb, but that all subsequent MS-DOS/VM86 tasks would run from the EMS window in upper memory, and I posted a assembly mode program to test if you were running, in real mode, ( the first DOS instance ), or V86 mode( all subsequent VM86s ).
We can test this all here: https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/sys/windows/2.0x/ and see which sessions will behave in which way. I will get this settled.
I agree that it will improve with some editing, but disagree that it sucks any worse than the software itself.
