 Chris, did your read the BIG GRIN when you went into defensive mode ?
 Well I use OS/2 version 2.0 and the beta2.1(windows 3.1 fix) here and
 from what I have seen from your posts you are in for one hell of a 
 suprise.
 
 Forget OS/2 think Windows MT! and you will have an ST in an clone box.
 
 Ps: do a search on GEnie under "kiwi" on 475,3 ... 
     But I do not get defensive (grin).
