Fred,
  Ultima VII and Civilization are representative of the state of the art
  for PC based games.   They are also the two top selling PC games right
  now.  I am not slamming OS/2, the market has already done that.  Any
  application that expects to have comlete control of sytem resources is
  going to be problematic for OS/2 or any true multitasking operating
  system on a PC.  My comments about OS/2 as an operating system for a machine
  that primarily runs games stand.  I suggest you look up my post that Ed
  replied to and view them in that context.

  Mike
