     I had a catalog/inventory WIN 3.1 program my supplier
madge available to me.
     Oops. I had/have the 2MB Matrox Millennium.
     Whenever I would exit the program my video would be
corrupted.  You know a screen of cursor sized rectangles of color
covering the rainbow of colors blinking and flashing at me.
     At the time my only known solution was to crash out of OS/2,
reboot to the maintenance partition, "chkdsk" all the partitions,
and then to reboot into  the main OS/2 partition.
