No, but that's just the point. Nothing OS2 has to offer supports what I
currently wish to do.

Lets see...ARCsolo, Backmaster, Fastback, Dualstor, and Sytos (two versions

that one).

It not a matter of missing anything, its a matter of what I can borrow off
people I know. I'm not going to fork over any money until I find something 
that
actually works.

HTML3.2 is a specification standard. Not an industry standard. Are you 
ontent

I have to keep using HSTART. DOS and Win32 text mode apps all run from the 
same
box. DOS and OS2 text mode apps need different window types.
