Win-OS2 and ms windows 3.x are the same thing down to the code. They
also both have the same bugs. To prove this open ms windows and type
in 4.00000 in the calculator, after the first zero you won't see 
anymore of the zeros until you press six. Same thing is in Win-OS2. 

The only difference is that you won't see any references to windows in
win-os2, they have become win-os2.

So if they have the same coding that also means win-os2 isn't 32bit.
Try running a 32bit program under win-os2 with out win32s.
