How come no one has recommended IBM OS/2 v2.0?  It has now been officially
released, and the reviews I have heard have been very good.  I can
say from personal experience that I had Waffle running in a DOS window
under a Beta version of OS/2 2.0, and it worked perfectly.   Other DOS
windows worked flawlessly while running Waffle in the background.
The only real gripe I had with the setup as I had it configured
was overall system speed, and I understand that the final release code
is MUCH faster than the beta that I had.  Not to mention all the other
advantages of OS/2 2.0, such as side-by-side multitasking of Windows and
OS/2 native programs, in addition to multitasking of DOS applications, either
windowed or full-screen.
