OSWIVDXA - UNSUPPORTED APPLICATIONS DUE TO VXDs
11/29/94

=================================================================
PARTIAL LISTING OF UNSUPPORTED APPLICATIONS IN WIN-OS/2 FOR 2.1
AND OS/2 FOR WINDOWS THAT MAKE VIRTUAL DEVICE CALLS (VXDs).
=================================================================

SYMPTOMS:

1. Errors can be from calling for KERNEL.386 to having to run
   applications in Windows 3.1 Enhanced mode.  Virtual device
   drivers (VXDs for Windows) are generally unsupported.

   Some 16-bit VXDs run, but few if any 32-bit VXDs or WIN32
   calls are recognized.

   Below is a partial list of known applications or errors
   with virtual device calls.
