Hi Mike,

 HR> Since OS/2 1.1 exists a rule for PM programmers: a message is to

And its best to assume for your current app:

"If it would take 1/10 sec on your old 286 running OS/2 1.1 then ..."

Not "if it would take 1/10 s on your pentium3 running Warp 5.5 ...".

Some of us are still running OS/2 1.3 on 286s. (I just ditched my
last one in December. (Upgraded to a 486!))

Andrew
