Thank you Michael. Sadly that made no difference. Let me say, however, that I am enormously encouraged that someone at Innotek is aware and is prepared to help with OS/2 derivatives. For legacy reasons (twelve years' worth, actually) it is my dearest wish to have eCS running within a VM hosted by Linux - specifically SuSE. I do hope this can be done; and am prepared to wait for success.
