subject: Which is the best?

 [ Quoting Brandon Pen to Jelle Wichman ] 
 BP> I am using Win95 right now.  Where can I get OS2?  I would like to
 BP> try it out.
At the shop? There are also several ForSale type echos on Fido, and there are
no doubt some trading newspapers available at a local newsagency.
 BP> Can you use a different setting for when you want to run
 BP> Windows 95, and then you want to switch to Os2 whenever you want other
 BP> then install one, and when you'rre done, install the other?
The best way is to clear your HDD, start up OS2's setup, and make two primary
partitions, and the BootManager partition. Install OS2 on one partition, then
install Win95 on the other. You will need to run Fdisk after Win95 installs 
o
change the active partition back to BootManager. You can then use BootManager
to boot either the OS2 partition, or the Win95 one.
 BP> Also, is OS2 sort of like MS-DOS, as far as commands are concerened.
Pretty much.
 BP> CD\ HELLO instead of something like.... MOvDIR HELLO
 BP> or
 BP> DEL HELLO.HEE instead of something like DELETE HELLO.HEE?
Both the same under DOS and OS2. OS2 has both an OS2 CLI box, and a DOS
box.
