[ rest deleted ] Based on some recent comments in the PC press, I don't know about this. Also, aren't I correct that either OS/2 2.0 or else a future MS OS/2 will be able to run Windows apps natively? (And thus use the OS/2 HPFS file system instead of DOS underneath?) I think this could be a good area for discussion - things to think about when writing Windows apps that may someday be on other CPU/OS configurations. Or will they be less portable (in reality) than I think? Tom Rombouts Torrance 'Tater tomr@ashtate.A-T.com
