TN> Is it possible & how do you start a mma-session in os2.

     Mathematica for Windows will not run on the currently shipping
version of OS/2 (version 2.0).  However, it WILL run on OS/2 v 2.1, which
is supposed to be released this quarter.  Anyone can get a copy of the OS/2
2.1 beta on cdrom, directly from IBM, for $15.
     I have been running MMA-Win 2.1 on the OS/2 2.1 beta for a few days
now.  Installation is easy.  First configure WinOS/2 to come up in
enhanced mode.  Make sure it is allocated plenty of dpmi memory.  Then run
the Mathematica install program from inside WinOS/2.
     I'm still trying to solve a few problems.  Most importantly, I can't
seem to change the default fonts.  But it is a major miracle that the
program runs at all in the OS/2 environment.  People said that this was
impossible.
