Uh, that has nothing to do with what I said.

Good. :-) I hadn't heard that. Anyway, that's definitely progress, but it
doesn't alter the fact that the existing drive letter system, like many
other features of OS/2, is derived from DOS.

 DVH> workplace shell OS which runs the PM on top of that.

You have that reversed -- it's the Workplace shell on top of PM. And
(unlike Windows) you can run OS/2 without either WPS or PM. (I've done it
all three ways: text only, text + PM, and text + PM + WPS. The first two
were when I was short of memory.)

OK, this is getting off-topic. ObC: Hey, I hear OS/2 is mostly written in
C. ;-)
