This is just plain wrong. Of course OS/2 can run fully blown 32-bit apps. It can run fully blown 32-bit OS/2 apps(although not many of them exist, but there are even fewer fully blown 32-bit Win95 apps, although I think there will be). It's good that OS/2 can't run 32-bit Win95 apps,because it deserves its own ones and nobody will switch to OS/2 just to run Win95 apps. merle > --Vals. > > Fatal Error: Couldn't enter Windows, use Doors. > Some doors have "NO EXIT" sign above them. Think twice.
