[comp.windows.ms] Windows 2 programs under Windows 3?

Can someone tell me whether any of our Windows 2 software will work under
Windows 3? I know there are changes in memory management since W3 works in
protected mode. But, do we have to junk all the Windows software that we've
collected and start again, or is it only large applications such as Excel etc
that will be seriously affected.

We've all heard the jokes about the fact that Windows 3 hasn't been announced
etc. We also all know that it exists.

I understood originally that version 2 applications would run, but would not be
able to make use of the new memory management. However, in recent times there
has been a rumour that none of the version 2 programs would work under version
3.
