Nope, it happened again today.  Hopefully they'll come out with
a version of OS/2 with some service pack, so I'll try getting
that.  OS/2 appears to be one gigantic bug.  There's another 
problem causing me trouble now.  Amipro prints to my Epson driver,
and the output just disappears off the face of the earth!  It isn't
shown when I click on the Epson driver, it doesn't actually print.
It works if I reboot under OS/2 2.1 and run Amipro.  Who knows.
BFN.  Paul.
