I appeciate your point.  I think, however, that NetWare for OS/2 has outlived 
its practical usefulness.  I am not even sure if you can still buy it.
There were several reasons why NetWare for OS/2 has a following.  First, it 
allowed the NetWare server program to take advantage of OS/2 virtual memory 
management, overcoming one of the main deficiencies in the NetWare design.  
Second, it allowed running sophisticated server-side processes, such as 
database servers, without having to implement them as NLMs.
NetWare for OS/2 did have severe shortcomings.  In particularly, NetWare 
could not use OS/2 file systems for its own purposes, but had to operate over 
its own partition and volumes as in a standard NetWare file server.  For an 
OS/2 process on the same machine to get access to the NetWare file server 
storage space, it had to log in as a client.
