   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.
