Thanks for sharing.  The more it goes, the more I see that Microsoft are
the worst people to compete against, but their Windows products are widely
supported; unlike OS/2's.  It's unfortunate that OS/2 doesn't have support
for Windows apps built in also.  Theres one program that I want to run
under OS/2, but it is a Windows app, and I don't want to waste the hard
drive space for just one program.  But it is very powerful, and I love the
system very much.
