If anyone is actually running OS/2 V1.3, can you answer a couple of questions for me: 1) Do video drivers from V1.2 work under 1.3? 2) Does the Novell OS/2 requester for V1.2 work under 1.3? 3) Does the new version include palette management APIs? 4) Does it have the same Desktop Manager/Control Panel, or have these been changed to look more like Windows 3? Thank you.

Yes.. quite well
2) Does the Novell OS/2 requester for V1.2 work under 1.3?
Don't know
3) Does the new version include palette management APIs?
I don't do OS/2 1.3 programming so I don't know
4) Does it have the same Desktop Manager/Control Panel, or have these
been changed to look more like Windows 3?
The same as 1.2
It's worth it. It's a little smaller, it runs apps a bit faster,
and just feels crisper. Take advantage of the free upgrade of 1.2
to 1.3.

I can tell you that Novell OS/2 requester works, you do get a warning but it works. Looks like 1.2, however, we just got the 1.3 update and they changed the printer Queue Management. -- Jack Computer Support Corporation Dallas,Texas Hudler Internet: jack@cscdec.cs.com
