Then it shouldn't have a 3.x subsystem version number.  Windows 95/98/Me 
treats applications differently based on their subsystem version 
numbers.  In case you've forgotten, all of these "quirks" are listed 
here:

The "tiny" visual differences are only part of it.

But I believe the point here should be:
If Euphoria is not intended to be run on Windows 3.1 (presumably with 
the 32-bit extension package Win32s), then it shouldn't have a subsystem 
version number of 3.1.  We already know that changing it only gets rid 
of the aforementioned quirks and doesn't break anything, so why not just 
distribute it as a 4.0 app?
