subject: os/2 under WinNT?

 AS> Is it possible to run os/2 apps under WInnt4? 
You cannot run 16-bit OS/2 1.x applications on vanilla Windows NT that use 
anything other than text mode.  You cannot run 32-bit OS/2 2.x applications 
of any sort on Windows NT at all.
Of course, since OS/2 has been 32-bit since version 2.0, the vast majority of 
all of the OS/2 applications now in existence (and there are more of them 
than some people would have you believe) are 32-bit.
Or, put another way, the number of OS/2 applications that are 16-bit 
text-mode applications from way back in the OS/2 1.x days is relatively tiny, 
and they are the only ones that can be run on Windows NT.
