I have a machine which has three disk partitions set up.
One partition contains OS/2 2.0 GA+SP, one contains 
OS/2 2.1 beta and the third contains my user data.
Can someone tell me if there will be any complications
with alternatively running the 2.0 and 2.1 versions?
Each OS/2 partition has its own Desktop directory, so
I realize that any Desktop changes made while running
one version will not be reflected when the other version
is running.  I'm more concerned about the EA's that
get stored with the directories in the common partition.
If I add objects to a folder which resides in the common
partition, what will happen when I run the other version
of OS/2.  Will the system get hopelessly confused about
which objects reside where?  Are there other potential
configuration problems?  Experiences and comments 
are welcome.  Thanks.
