Same here.  I've just got the IDE going in a DOS box under OS/2, without
much drama.  From what Glenn says, I may need to find a copy of BP7 and do
the OS/2 patches that David Begley crashed my _ages_ ago.  Damned if I'm
going to be forced into using C++, or Win95 :)  Funny thing, someone sent
me a copy of Borland C++ for OS/2 version 1.0 recently.  I can't get
excited about it ..

I'm sure you'll still be around here to tell us, for a while :)  I suppose
I might keep an eye out for a 2ndhand copy of Delphi; it reportedly runs in
WinOS/2 more or less ok, though only to make Windows programs of course. 
Better than just DOS, I guess, for some things.

Cheers, Ian
