 EV> OS/2 .INF files need the OS/2 Viewer to see what is in them.

actually, just a proper INF viewer is needed... i think i have one here
that can be used on linux, mac and winwhatever ;)

 EV> Microsoft .INF files are ASCII files.

right... that's because on winwhatever, they call them "drivers"
and they never have been... all they've ever been is settings for the
product to be imported into the registry...

 EV> I'm not putting OS/2 down, just saying what difference I saw.

there's only so many three character extensions to go around ;)

 EV> In the OS2WORLD.BBS file I looked for Your BBS but didn't see it.
 EV> The OS2WORLD.BBS file I looked at was dated 07Sept1992.

 EV> You may not have had the BBS up then.

mine isn't listed because it is not running an OS/2 native BBS package...
my BBS is, and always has been, DOS based but that may be changing at some
point in the future as much as i loath the idea... either that or it will
become linux based or possibly hosted on a linux system...

 EV> At least I thought to look to see if Your BBS or Name was in the file.
 EV> Mark's, Waldo's Place BBS wasn't in that old BBS list either.

you're a good man, charlie brown :)
