You're welcome!  I don't usually reply when I know others will, but none
seemed to have the details you might need.

"Work Place Shell" often casually considered to be the DeskTop.

Well OS/2 is not the dominate game platform like WinXX.  But there is enough
available to help the worker take a break.

AdeptXBBS is an integrated full featured (including Internet) native OS/2 BBS.

Mostly toys and tools to do everything a SysOp could want.  Most of very
little use to the OS/2 user who is not a SysOp.

No problem.  Just remind me later.

While it won't help you get OS/2 loaded, since Warp3 will run fine without any
FixPak, it will help you get OS/2 to be useful with a wide selection of apps,
and Y2K compliant with a recent FixPak, all of which take a lot of time to D/L
and some of which are only available on the net or CD.  This just puts them
all together for easy access.  

 LP> By the by, where are you?

Luray, VA

 LP> With support of folks like you, I should have great luck.

You'll find the vast majority of OS/2 users in all the OS/2 echoes to be
mature professionals willing to help you.  Some are probably just in shock to
see a newbie in here. 

                 Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
