Greetings,

Well got the Os2 dos to load & got the windows programs to load.  But
boy does it ever hang.  Had the tutorial running, & stalled in third
page. Can't open too much.

Could be the bios. Could be not enough hard drive space.  @250 Mb on the
HPFS drive & @ 200 Mb on d with fat 16

Here's the config.sys

Still haven't found anything that tells me how to set a general data
directory for all the program.  But then haven't had a chance to do a
lot of playing yet.

Still iffy on the fdisk meanings though.
