Come on! What they were saying was, test AMIPRO V2.0 on a machine that
they were fairly certain did not have hardware problems to see if the
problem was hardware or software. 
Well known debugging techique- isolate the problem before you assume you
know the cause. 
OS2 crashed regularly ( and on particular programs) when
I first installed. It does not do so now. Is this because IBM rewrote
OS2? No, the tag Sram cache chip on my machine was too slow making it
flakey. I suspected that my machine was at fault, not OS2 because so
many people had run it with no trouble. If it is true that lots of
people have no problem with AMIPRO, one suspects either the poster's
hardware, or some fault in the installation.
