I've found exactly the same problems with Windows 95 and Windows NT. 
Lack of good/proper drivers is NOT an IBM nor OS/2 problem.  Your 
chipset works great under Win 3.1x simply because the system didn't 
change hardly at all over a four year period.

Please make up your mind here.  In the above paragraph you report that 
IBM has invested an obscene amount of money in OS/2, yet you later 
stated:

Overall though, I agree with you. IBM has an excellent product in OS/2. 
I had very minor problems in version 2.1, NO problems with 3.0 (Warp, 
Warp Connect, etc.).  I too love QEdit, having used the unregistered 
shareware version for years. Yes I DID buy it from a local store, but 
never called Semware to get the updated (2.15 I think version).
From what I've heard of TSE, I doubt that I really need it. The junior 
version seems to have everything I need and that's lucky for me since 
that's the only one that has an OS/2 version.  I'll have to get it one 
of these days.
However, My favorite OS's are in order: OS/2, Linux, Windows 95 and 
Windows NT. My DOS QEdit is working for me as it'll run easily in 3 of 
the 4 systems. But I want ALL FOUR!
