HiJack--

JS>I never registered OS/2, didn't know you could?  It's not shareware?

    You never moved to Warp 4, either.  Software registration for OS/2
was introduced (AFAIK) with Warp 4.  The purpose of such registration
seems to be to put you on some IBM mailing lists that you otherwise
wouldn't be on :-(.  It is also the easiest way to kill the dancing
elephant (another Warp 4 innovation!).  The system asked me to register
my PL/I for OS/2 compiler v 2.0 when I installed it (so I did), but the
system didn't ask me to reregister the update to v 2.1 when I deleted v
2.0 and installed the new one.  So, perhaps IBM has dropped the idea.

    Regards,

        --Murray
