	First things first. You MUST (I emphasize because there was questions
before) have both OS/2 and Win-whatever on FAT drives. Not necessicarily
the same drive, but they both must be on FAT. Using the setup from OS/2
magazine, you make a OS/2 command file that has the following:

	boot /DOS /NOBOOT /QUIET
	hybernat -r

Make a full screen OS/2 program object on your desktop and link it to
the above file. When you click on it, it will do a dual boot with hybernation.
This WILL shut down any network connections, be they via modem or ethernet.
The moral, don't do this when running a network program or surfin' the net.
There is a problem with '95 startup that I haven't figured out yet. I gues it has
to do with the plug and play bios, 'cause my pnp ethernet card got messed
up when I tried it. In windows, make a program thing (I refuse to call it an
object seeing that no flavor of windows interface is object oriented) that
points to /os2/boot.com, with the following arguments:

	/OS2 /QUIET

In '95 you will have to set it to dos mode and shut off the
warnings in the advanced settings.

	All in all, it works very nicely. You can also use hybernate
to shut down OS/2 for extremely quick reboots with all progs running
just as they were when you left. As usual, take the precaution of
saving data before doing any switching.
