ummm ... so this means it will work when I try it with OS2Warp4 internet
Dial.... and that the NTS stack simply wont work under winos2 ???

Off topic but related to NTS stack:-
The Last NTS stack I tried (in 3.03 TP- FTPed before the dispatches CD)
still had several ploblems- if one program was waiting for a responce
from whichever server it was useing it would hold up processing in most
other programs including non-internet related programs(tho to a lesser
degree), mIRC for example, also with MS internet explorer and its FTP
function. Has/Is this been/going-to-be fixed.. and is this problem
related to TP not being a *proper* 32bit win95/NT program (as Ive seen
it being said in this group)???

Anyone know if a OS2 version of TP is at all likely, I wonder how many
OS2 users there really are... :)
Perhaps its just a case of running virtualy the same c++ code through an
OS2 compiler??... but knowing programers-and/or operating-system-writers
nothing is alowed to be simple... I expect that falls apart when
libraries in the MS compiler have been called which wont be the same if
it is included in the OS2 compiler

Is OS2 still a non-supperted operating system for demon interent??

appologies for typeing so much :)
