Huh?  You don't need DOS on your machine at all.  There are very few
DOS apps that will not run in a DOS Session under OS/2.  As for the
slowness of the DOS sessions, go into the SETTINGS notebook and set
SESSION PRIORITY=32.

Your DOS app will be back to its old self.  You need to do this for
all DOS sessions by the way.
