No, there was still quite a bit of 16 bit code that needed updating and 
some never got updated even in the latest.
Another consideration is that 16 bit functions are stuck needing to be 
in the lower memory range (below 1GB, or actually below 512MB - whatever 
DLLs are loaded. Mem /v will show your memory).
Win32's got broken on OS/2 by MS forcing some DLL's to load above the 
1GB barrier and even now some functions probably require OS/2 4.5+ for 
high memory access.
