Thanks Stacy for your msg about OS/2 crash-proof?, on 19

I agree with Mark. Significant compromises were made to support
Dos/Windoze. That support might be justifiable for a while, but
soon OS/2 will have to break with the past and move forward. For
instance, instead of having a 4Meg linear virtual address space
per process, OS/2 only has a 512 Meg space to support 16 bit OS/2
and Dos apps. I shudder to think how much more stable, fast, and
small OS/2 would be now without the requirements of the
Dos/Windoze emulation. Even if you don't load them, the
architectural limitations/compromises are still there.
