Actually, I have been using OS/2 1.1 quite a bit, and had good luck with it so far. Sidekick is one PM app, but there are others out there. I personally do not like Sidekick for PM anyway, but so much for personal opinions. I have been using Excel for PM, and I think it is excellent, possibly even better than the DOS version, in functionality as well as graphics support. I recently got Brief for OS/2, and it is also very good. One of my favorite applications is Tickler/2, which as far as I know does not have PM support, but it will pop up on top of a PM app, and is the best reminder/ calendar program I have seen. Paradox OS/2 is a favorite as well, but again not PM yet. I usually run most apps in a Text window under PM and get around this anyway. There are quite a few nice Public Domain and shareware OS/2 programs starting to show up now. I recently began evaluating a product called ProPascal from Prosper Software, and it seems to be well implemented, although I prefer C programs especially with the OS/2 environment. James R.
