We were not able to get PM Word to work with the most recent release of the OS/2 2.0 beta (however Excel does work fine). We submitted a service request to MS Online and they sent us a special version of the PMWORDU.DLL which they use internally for PM Word, but which has not been released to the public. If you have an online account you should be able to ask them for it. PM Word is not externally supported under OS/2 2.0 as of now. Once I got the DLL everything worked fine. Dan Ford Hewlett-Packard

I don't know what's different about my system, but PM Word fails horribly under OS/2 2.0 beta 6.123. Not only does it fail to work, it also corrupts the system, forcing my to power off and restart to get OS/2 to work reliably again. The Microsoft rep I cornered on Compuserve just said, "we support PM Word on released version of OS/2 only." He hinted that there were problems in IBMs code. Since PM Word is the only one of my apps which fails in such a bizarre manner, I took this with a large grain of salt. -- Joe B. #include <standard.disclaimer>
