I've been following the messages in this newsgroup that occasionally mention that a particular piece of software will or will not work in the DOS compatibility box under OS/2. I thought it might be worthwhile to collect a compendium of people's experience with software, free, shareware, commercial, what-have-you, that either will or won't work in the "box". This compilation would be helpful to people who must decide whether or not to worry about the dual-boot option (including me). If anyone who has actually tried and succeeded or failed with a DOS program in the box would e-mail me with the program or system name, the version of OS/2 you are running (including whether it's IBM's or Compaq's or whatever), and the machine you are using, I will collect this information together and post it to the net in a couple of weeks. Thanks for your help.
