MAJ>The best way to make OS/2 more stable is to take out all the code

MAJ>Step 1: Remove any DOS/Windows references from CONFIG.SYS.
MAJ>Step 2: Delete C:\OS2\MDOS directory and any subdirectories.
MAJ>Step 3: Insert PROTECTONLY=YES into CONFIG.SYS

Ah... if only we could!  Unfortunately there are a *lot* of DOS/Win apps
for which there is no OS/2 equivalent that is:

 1. reliable enough
 2. cheap enough
 3. data-compatible
 4. shipping *now*

Sad but true... time will tell if the situation is going to improve but
in the meantime, apart from a few specific cases most OS/2 users are
forced to run DOS and/or Windows apps.  It's this support for DOS/Win
apps that has allowed OS/2 to gain the support it has.  Look at just how
unpopular OS/2 1.x was!
