You have to stop lying to people like this.  LOSE95 tries to run existing DOS and 
WINDOWS programs, however, programs that use specific memory calls (namingly
95% of WINDOWS programs) have more lockups than Windows 3.0.

The feature that LOSE95 is promoting (32 bit multitasking) is not working the
way Microsoft thought it would (being polite here).  They knew about this 
problem several months ago, and it's still not fixed in the latest beta.

So what you have with LOSE95 is an enhanced version of Windows 3.1 with more
Application errors and lockups.

Thank you
