I think part of the problem may be that the above id is perceived as a technical contact for all IBM products. It's not -- it's for the C Set ++ (and C Set/2) compiler. If you have a question or problem with C Set ++, and receive you receive an unsatisfactory answer, by all means complain -- to the cset2 id, or to me if you wish. If, however, you have a problem filling listboxes, or getting semaphores to work, or anything else concerning OS/2... you're simply asking the wrong people. This is not to say we don't want to help -- I fully agree with the need to provide technical support to OS/2 developers. It's just that the people who man that ID don't know the answer to many of _the_OS/2_questions_ that are asked of them. I think the focus of your letter should been asking OS/2 support to provide better internet access (they already offer technical support on compuserve), instead of venting your ire on a product that already does (C Set ++). -tim
