OS/2 can see the Win95 system, it just needed to be prodded! I am very happy
now that i have got things to the stage they are now. The machines are
communicating via netbios. I am not game at this stage to try netbios over
tcp/ip :-)
BTW... This message was written over the network... Under Win95 chattering to
the BBS message base under OS/2.
