          First, have you not installed the OS/2 2.1 Service Pack
to get your system to 2.11?  If you haven't, I strongly recommend
you do before going any further.  But in regards to your question,
I've ran Pdox50 under 2.11 and it worked fine but I did have 16megs
of memory also.  Pdox50 is a memory hog and so is OS/2 2.11.
Together you'll be beating the crap out of your HD with only 8megs.
 
          I recommend 2 things...  1) Switch to OS/2 Warp (it
installs right over 2.1 and runs great and lower memory req.)
          2) Install 8 more megs to give Pdox50 ample room to
work.
