There are a a small handful of games which don't run correctly under
OS/2.  Of course, you give him one of those and then act like it is
representative.  Ultima VII and Civilization don't run correctly (or
so I understand).  However, the number of DOS games that fail to work
under OS/2 is smaller than the number of Windows 3.0 programs that
fail to run under Windows 3.1.
