It's a totally new OS and only runs old Win16 applications under emulation. All upgrades of NT (3.1 -> 3.5 -> 3.51) has been much more optimised and faster than the previuos versions they have replaced. This is also true for other OSes like OS/2 (2.0 -> 2.1 -> 3.0). The current Warp version of it (OS/2 3.0) is a lot faster and slicker than it's earlier versions. m a r t i n n -- Martin Nisshagen MTS Technology, Sweden martin@mts.se (MIME 1.0)
