While I thank you very much for the response to running current versions of QB and Q under OS/2, the fact remains that MS has an undisputable attitude towards non-MS platforms. And much of this comes about from the use of undocumented system calls which were one of the many issues that the FTC addressed. If we can get a formal, written committment that MS will not pull the rug under from us in the future, you will do much to keep several thousand customers who happen to prefer OS/2 to DOS-Windows. And remember that until recently (version 3.0 of QforW had some severe problems with one of the modules, as I recall), all your software ran just swimmingly under OS/2. Again, thanks for the information about the file regarding getting QforW 4.0 running under OS/2. I almost purchased QB3, but the box made me quiver with fear of losing my business' records. Can you specifically confirm that QB3 will run correctly out of the box under OS/2???
