This is true.

I got the impression that the original message was relating an attempt
to run the IDE in an OS/2 session.  Personally, I have had no problems
with this.

I have moved over to Borland C++ for OS/2 v1.5 for anything new.  I only
use PDS now to maintain old programs, or write something for DOS since I
don't have a C or C++ compiler that will do DOS.
