I'm glad that you put the :-) at the end of your message.  OS/2 has been
killed off by many people for over 5 years now and it still isn't dead. For
the sake of everyone who uses computers, I hope that OS/2 stays around.
Competition is what keeps products as good as they are and keeps products
improving. Without competition things could get pretty dismal.  For those of
you using NT and 95, you can thank IBM for the amount of improvments you see
in your product. Without what OS/2 2.0, 2.1 and Warp showed to the consumers,
do you think that what you have now would be as good?  If you do, think
again..
I've been begging SemWare for an OS/2 version of TSE for almost 2 years now.
They still haven't come up with one.  I've religated TSE to my DOS machine 
only
now and probably won't be spending any money on upgrades with them anymore.
I'll be spending my money on vendors who support my choice in operating
systems.  I realize that the decision to support and upgrade a product is a
business decision, that is what I also made.
TSE is a phenominal product, and if there were an OS/2 version of it, I'd
buy it in a minute.  There isn't.
This isn't aimed at you Tom, but your's is the last message I read and
the one that triggered the response. Please don't take it personally.
Steve.
