I have some stuff that uses the parallel port to emulate IEEE488 and
other such like things. This needs to CLI to get H/W timing right.

I run it in a DOS box, cos I havn't had time to port it to OS/2 yet.

I would guess that 90% of Dongle stuff needs CLI as well. The other 10%
wont run under OS/2. (Otherwise you could virtualise the dongle).

But these are specialist, and I would prefer to have CLI trapped and
then be able to enable it selectively.
