SUMMARY
=======

When running the installation program for Fifth Generation Systems' Fastback for
Windows, the installation program will hang during the process. Moreover,
running the FB.EXE file directly (from File Manager), you will receive the
following error:

  Cannot run on anything except Windows V3.0

MORE INFORMATION
================

Fifth Generation Systems' Fastback for Windows is designed specifically for
Windows 3.0 or 3.0a. Apparently, supported Window's version numbers are written
into Fastback, and thus will not run on Windows 3.1.


Additional query words: 3.10 fastback hang error install
