Additionally the Bank of BC (much smaller as it is a provincial bank) has also gone with OS/2. CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) runs OS/2. Toronto Dominion Bank runs OS/2. These banks handle about 75% of all banking in Canada as well as having major investments round the world. I personally use the Royal Bank of Canada, not because the service is good in Canada, but rather that the service is good in any major city in the world. I can find out the CFL football scores and the hockey scores in Taipei, and Seoul from my Royal Bank of Canada representative. There are Royal Banks of Canada in all areas. It is a much bigger bank than most would think. The Royal bank of Canada has major investments in OS/2. From the Desk of Mike Stephen
