I am having trouble getting the NET.EXE program that ships with Windows for
Workgroups to work in an OS/2 DOS session.  It gives me "Incorrect DOS 
version".  I loaded the required WFW network drivers using the DOS_DEVICE setting.

Yet if I run my real DOS 5.0 image and try NET.EXE it works fine.

I have tried everything, including the DOS_VERSION setting for NET.EXE.

If anyone knows how to run WFW NET.EXE and get it working, let me know.  If I can get this
working, I can get WFW running under OS/2. (It actually runs now, but without NET support).
If this works I'll gladly share the infor to all OS/2 and WFW netters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
