I think  Bill the Gate would have had his Lawyers out in force if they
had:-))) The current Win/OS2 suport mainly dates back to the time that
MSoft were in joint venture with IBM, and this is no longer the case..
As it stands MSoft continually alter this that or the other, seemingly
to prevent just such and occurance.. Perhaps Herr Gates wants to totally
control the PC based operating system world..
As it stands Win95 just isnt IMHO a stable enuff OS, WinNT is another
story, but so is its price:-))) And while a lot of software houses may
jump on the MS bandwagon[as usuall] that doesnt mean that their games
are gonna work flawlessly under Win95, some may, some may not and some
may just plain screw up the Win95 registry, to the punters ultimate
cost:-( I've already seem mega complaints about interfacing sundry
adaptor cards under Win95, where it insitsts on reconfiguring their
addresses etc, even to ones they cant handle, until someone who knows
how the registry works, edits it to reflect the coreect settings for a
card... so much for PnP:-((( And a good many users cant hack editing the
resgistry file without totally messing up their system...

Well OS/2 has its problems as well:-) But mainly in driver software I
think:-) Like you I intend to stick with it..
                 Cheers,
                         Cliff
