My version is unstable. I open BCOS2, File/New
Then I type
#include 

int main( int, char **)
{
    printf( "Bang, crash!\n" );
    return 0;
}

If I try to compile it, BCOS2 collaps and sometimes gives me a SYS3170 or so.
Why? I just forgot this program is an OS2 exe, not a PM exe.
With BCOS2 open, my system is unstable. It sometimes crashes when I even
move my mouse pointer above it.
I'm moving to IBM Set C++ 2.1 for sure.

Toedeloe,
Jorgen de Gier
