Dual Boot is a poor choice. Both DOS and OS/2 reside in the same
partition. I don't want DOS near OS/2's file Extended Attributes. Boot
Manager is much better, it allows Operating Systems in different
partitions. Remember to put your Boot Manager partition at the end of
your drive.
The Installation guide that came with OS/2 2.1 has 47 pages on setting
up Dual Boot/Boot Manager. Too bad it wasn't included in the Warp
manual. 
If you want what some consider the "best of all worlds" install System
Commander. (http://www.v-com.com). It allows you to run 100 different
OS's on one machine. 
I used to run Boot Manager, but changed to System Commander after
checking out the Lite version that came with Partition Magic. At the
moment I can boot to DOS/Win3.1, Win95 or OS/2. 
Now to get back on topic. Are you using New Deal Office?
