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!
