Good question... I probably haven't given it the thought I should, but here
goes...
1. (Due to my own cheapness)... When I upgraded Microsoft C, I only sent
off for the DOS version. In hindsight, I now see I sno}ld have spent a
little bit more and gotten the OS/2 portion also.
2. (Due to being poor :-)... I bought DOS versions of Excel, etc. But have
not purchased OS/2 versions yet (guess I should check for upgrade info).
3. A file archive program like ARC, PKZIP, or ZOO.
4. An inexpensive (read "cheap") paint program (bitmap images)
5. An reasonably priced draw program (vector based)
6. A PM-aware Microsoft Word...
That's all that comes to mind at the moment...todd
