Let's also make sure that it runs on OS/2 or DOS 7.0 – Not everyone in the
world wants to be "stuck" with a Microsoft Operating System.

I don't think we consider being stuck in MS. I've been working with IBM
products since 1978, and MS knows what they are doing. IBM has always tried to
cut everybody out with their own special OS. It sure doesn't break my heart to
see OS2 dive. The fact is the processors and memory stuff is what makes the
stuff go. I doubt that WIN 95 will appear as a hot product ready to go in the
time zone they have promised. An SGI renderer is to route. I would not be happy
to dump my PAR and other stuff with a new OS.

Hear Hear! I agree totally, 3DS should still have the option of running from
DOS. I personally detest windows, although I have to live in it at work. At
home, I use it mainly for the File Manager, and of course, Cserve. If I'm
working totally in a graphics environment, why would I want to take away speed
and colors that Windows does? It makes no sense to me. I want my comp to run
as fast as possible, which it does not in Windows. Even with Smartdrv.

I only use Windows when I need to use Composer or Painters – other wise I never
start it. I prefer to work regularly in plain DOS.

Maybe OS/2 for Windows. I seriously doubt Yost Group would be thinking
anything about OS/2, that would be cutting their own life line. Windows/NT is
were they are heading.
