Absolutely nothing showed up in checking the .INI files about this.  But
remember, I left an ALTERED line in the CONFIG.SYS which had the library
path directive for the JAVA131 deal!  I suspect this line was added-to by
the JDK for 1.3.1 when I added it.  What I did here was simply remove the
citation for the #:\emx\emx that was there, leaving the other in place.

Curiously, what I need is only the 16 color 80X24 line video for what I
want!  That's one of the reasons I wanted to study this.

Which is why I'm interested in following along on this ..

I thought a tab was supposed to be five not eight spaces?  Why would that
change in OS/2?  I could be wrong on that, probably so.  At the OS/2 level
you could even use a DOS-VDM editor like QE or even WS for non-document
mode, then act on the resulting text with the OS/2 toolset!  I find myself
doing that even with the C/C++ Watcom stuff at times!

 BJ> Ok, where did I hide that copy of a VI clone for OS/2?

I didn't know it existed.

 BJ> Come join the fun / insanity on working on the code.... ;)

People keep giving me Linux installation this and that's.  At the moment I
don't have a box with which to do that.

However .. two of the boxes now have 9GB worth of free drive space.  I was
thinking about CONNECTIX, but don't have the CPU power at the moment,
though I do have the memory for this... I'm getting there.


--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
