Well, I downloaded and installed the beta yesterday. The installation
went smoothly. 

Here's what I've found so far:

The default settings for Autocad Release 9 (as created by the migrate
programs thingy) use a windowed session for Autocad. (As if this is
usable.) But when you run it windowed, it hangs the machine. C-A-D
works, BUT (and here is the really strange part:) On the next boot
(if a cold-reset is not done) OS/2 has no comprehension of my 
SCSI disk. Boot-manager doesn't see the partitions, the d: and e: drives
are invisible. Cold-boot brings everything back to normal.

(My setup: 111M Maxtor IDE as C:, Ultrastor 14f using Int13 driver on
D:, HPFS as D and Fat on E:.)

Also, dir /r doesn't work; something about a syntax error, I think.

The comm drivers seem to drop more characters at 19200 than before; I'll
have to do some tests to make sure, though. 

(BTW, if someone could mail me with the details of how we beta-testers
are supposed to report bugs, I'd appreciate it. Is IBM watching 
this group? Or what?)
