  Let him know that he's very welcome. As are all DOS programmers who
  are porting their programs to OS/2.  The more, the merrier.

  Yes, we sometimes seem a little irate at some of the foolish
  "DOS-think" programming practices that DOS programmers seem to want to
  indulge in ("How do I trap the keyboard interrupt so that I can read
  the COM port and the keyboard at the same time?",  "My program fails
  when I try to write directly to B800:0000!").

  Just bear in mind that not only are we interested in helping DOS
  programmers write OS/2 programs, but also we are interested in helping
  them write *good* OS/2 programs.
