That is exactly the attitude that got IBM's OS/2 where it isn't today.. Actually, this isn't a very fair comparison to Commodore. Programs that were written correctly for 1.3 will WORK under 2.0.

You wanna use 1.2 and 1.3 forever? +---------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | // Daryl S.
