Doppler is a bit disorganized. They'll order it for you if they don't have it but it
took them 1 month to get me Object Desktop. It would have been cheaper and 
faster to get it mail order. 

Try the IBM Home Computing store in the MetroTown Mall (I think there's one 
in Richmond also). They just opened 
and are still getting they're stock in but they have at least as good a 
selection of OS/2 stuff as Doppler and the service seems a lot better. They 
didn't actually have GalCiv2 when I was in there last however.
