Hi, Bob.

Yeah, although I'm not sure that it's an OS/2 bug in this case. Several
of our fellow-TML friends seem to run it more-or-less successfully, but
I wouldn't touch it myself 'cos a) bugs/instability, b) learning curve
to use it, c) incredible difficulty in installing (and you've no doubt
seen some of the comments in AvTech, including yours), d) lack of apps
and e) why bother if you've got something that works.

I won't go to Win95 either, for a), b), maybe c) and e) - until dragged
kicking and screaming by lack of support for the old O/S or features
which I think I need, not just bells & whistles.

I skipped DOS 4 entirely and so far have resisted DOS 6(.xx); still use
Word 2 and have no need to change - I actually don't *like* the Word 6
interface. Might have to try and run both soon though, 'cos Rosie
started uni on Tuesday and I think they use it. Still use PKT2QWK etc
too, in spite of Paul's exhortations to get "proper software", because
it *works* and I understand it.

Change for the sake of change is time wasted.

Regards, fIM.
