Alan,
Thank you for the reminder. I had come across that in my Web travels. I
may give it a try, just to play with the concurrent multitasking again.
Windows preemptive mt is so inefficient. I still have contact with some
of the the boys and girls that worked in Bocal Raton and Austin (yeh
Texas!!) on it, as well as the original IBMPC. Am I allowed to say,
ahhh, those were the days?

OS/2 lives on in an updated OEM version called eComStation
(www.ecomstation.com). The license is held by a Texas company,
Serenity Systems, and marketing is handled by Mensys in the
Netherlands (www.mensys.nl), which reports that sales are booming.

no hokey segment:offset Intel architecture. A nice RISC proceessor
(PowerPC) with modified Unix (ala AIX) is pretty sweet too.
