[comp.os.os2.misc] Question on Info on OS/2 features

rem@buitc.bu.edu (Robert Mee) (06/13/91)

I am a DOS/Windows user and am seriously considering 
making the move to 1.3 SE. I have a few questions.
What kinds of features does it have. Does it come with
any applications such as a simple COMM program? How 
does it interact with DOS programs or can you only
boot/access one type of OS at a time? I remember hearing
about some sort of variable OS boot feature can you tell
me more about that? Was migrating difficult for you in the 
sense that there were many programs in DOS that you really
used heavily that were not accessible (if that is a factor)
from OS/2? Unfortunately, the only local dealer I know of
doesn't seem to be real cool on OS/2 so it's hard to get a 
'fact sheet'  on the product. Just wondering what considerations 
I need to make before I take the plunge.

Thanks for any info,

Rob
