Your sarcasm doesn't phase me in the least. Just remember who supported 
PowerBASIC in the lean days and who help put PowerBASIC in the position
their in todays, Or is that asking too much?. If it wasn't for people like 
myself, and there are many, maybe you wouldn't have all those Window 
equests.
So get off your soapbox!

Thank you very much for saying this. This is the truth and it's too bad more
people don't know it. MicroSoft and their cronies have done a great job 
snowing the public. OS/2 may not have all the gilder Win-95 has but it's a 
solid multi-tasking platform, couldn't ask for more. (I will though! )
You know the old saying Dave and I know, Billy-Boy knows it. If you can't 
baffle'em with bullshit then dazzle'em with footwork. Just remember who said
64k of RAM was more then enough or was that 64 megs?
 DN> And I too bug the OS/2 guys all the time.
Keep the good work up...

Glad to hear it, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I guess you learn alot when you sleep with someone. (little jab)

 DN> futility.
If this is true then something is mighty wrong with this picture. I don't
find this to be the case at all in fact the other way around. The problem
I have is I can't afford to pay the price for all the information that is
out there. That's why us poor sucker rely on people like Bob Zale. If IBM
is really buging you about the product like you say they are then I would
think they would be more then happy to supply you with whatever you need.
IBM has a program call 'DAP' for OS/2 if you're not members then you should
be. Developer Assistance Program (407) 998-7558 FAX (407) 998-7610.
I can't believe your making this statement Dave.
 DN> In fact, if anyone has any recommendations on system level
 DN> programming books for OS/2, I'd really appreciate it.
I have a list and would be more then happy to send it to you.
Regards, Lou Sanders
