From article <1991May9.182102.29631@netcom.COM>, by resnicks@netcom.COM (Steve Resnick): > The DOS box runs in real mode which means there is not protection. If you > crash the DOS box, it could very likely kill the rest of the machine. > OS/2 2.0 shouldn't have this problem. I've been running OS/2 from 1.0. I've crashed the DOS box many times. Most of those times, all I have to do is press <ATL>-<ESC> and I am back in my OS/2 sessions. They still operated fine. The only exception to this is if the DOS program screws up the keyboard interrupt so that the <ALT>-<ESC> doesn't get passed through to OS/2. - Kevin Lowey (LOWEY@SASK.USASK.CA)
