Me, too. I was excited about the OS/2 version back before WARP,
but when MickeySoft came out with their WIN95, the hospital where I
work went screaming over to WIndows apps and now, Visual Basic
seems to be the way to go. I still do as much in PB32 as I can. I
haven't gone to VB yet. I'm fighting. But I'm losing the war. I
think Os/2 is dead except for banks and such where true MTasking is
king. Just wanted to say all this out loud. Sorry if I offended
anyone. Peace.
