I recently started WFW as the first and only app. I was working on a short (20 page) doc and got a message that I was low on memory and should close some windows and save the doc. I didn't have any windows to close so I just saved the doc. Windows started the save, then UAEed me. Whats worse, when I tried to reload the doc after rebooting I got an immediate UAE. I have, as a result, lost the entire doc back to my previous tape backup, hours of work. The new file is extremely effective at causing a UAE anytime I care to have one just by trying to load it. I found out too late that clicking the "make backup" box in save as options only applies to the current file. _____________________________________________ David Hole, Utah State University | Bitnet FAHOLE@USU | Internet FAHOLE@CC.USU.EDU | Remember, Guns don't kill, Bullets do. | ____________________________________________|

What is the latest word between OS/2 and Windows. Will (or should) OS/2 be able to run Wiindows programs, and if so, when is this release scheduled? Finally, I am curious what happens to your average Windows app if you give it a filename 120 char's long. (From HFS, of course). ============================================================================ Love is Hell

Articles in PC Week and elsewhere state that it is IBM's intention to
have the next release of OS/2 be able to run DOS, Windows and OS/2
applications. It is supposed to be released late '91 or early '92.
This should put Window's apps on more solid footing from an
operating system respective. Even more it means it still makes
sense to get up and/or keep up to speed programming Windows.
Happy Computing!
