Kinda puts OS/2 in the same category as AmigaDOS. People who use either of those systems know they have something superior to the mainstream DOS/Windows kludge. It's just too bad the developer support is so weak. Fortunately for OS/2, it's gaining new support right now. It'll be interesting to see if the Amiga can do the same when (if?) it gets revived. Wayne
