Hi I have v4 with FP14, and need to run 2 apps on 
Windoze.  They will both run on 2000, so I thought I'd
try that, as it is supposed to be reasonably stable.

I can't get it to talk to OS/2 - I presume it is possible,
and that I have sinply missed something?

I'll do some more searching, but would appreciate
some pointers, opinions, and advice at this stage.

Cheers, DeutschMick

  Mail? - replace z's with au, the currency symbol with deu.
          
  OS/2? - STILL faster, better, more stable. 
  Why use DOS or a disguised OS/2 hack?

  Please provide more detail as to what you have done to try to get the machines
to talk.  I run two networks with Windows 95 or 98 and network operation has 
been going for such a long time that they are taken for granted.  I wouldn't 
have thought that M$ has changed networking (unlike with doc file formats) such 
that it can't talk to OS/2.

One thing that was told to me was that I had to be logged onto OS/2
with a username and password which matched those on the Win2K machine.
I have no idea why that should be necessary, but it DOES work that
way!

  With Win9x you don't have to have UID & Password coordination provided at the 
Windows end you specify no password to access.  That seems OK to do in a home 
environment or a small office where you know and trust the other folk!
