Hello, Ross.

The OS/2 version is not a true OS/2 version.  When you run it, it consumes
100% CPU time, which means that George used the "OS/2 patch" to
Borland Pascal 7 to have it create 16-bit OS/2 programs.  There is a
"timeslicer" program for errant OS/2 programs available, but the
BW OS/2 version is not very good.  I'd still use the DOS/DPMI version.

There's always two sides to every story.  All I'm asking is that if it goes
beyond a message or two to take it somewhere else, that's all.  If you'll
notice only the four (?) of you have been talking; everyone else has gone
quiet.  I'm not above discussing the subject (I can see the reasoning
behind both sides of the debate) but just not in here.  Maybe I should
create an echo where there can be tech debate (nee flame wars :).

That's all I have to say on the subject.

Later,
Sean
