the faq for os2 claims you can run multiple dos sessions under os2 and they need not be the same version. is this for real? is it robust? i want to run dosv, the version of dos marketed by ibm for at and ps2 bus machines that does on screen display of japanese kanji. this version of dos does nothing more exotic than trap bios calls, check if the two byte codes are kanji, and display accordingly. it runs fine on generic us and european market machines. nevertheless, i do not want to shell out for os2 and learn its quirks if os2 will not runs dosv. (the v is dosv is not, by the way roman numeral 5, it stands for vga.) -- earl h. kinmonth, centre for japanese studies, university of sheffield, sheffield, england s10 2tn jp1ek@sunc.sheffield.ac.uk
