- I take it then that 2.54 is the same code as the normal DOS version
- compiled with a character I/O library to allow it to run as a Windows
- program (with frobbing done for hardware access to the tape drive).
-
- Has anyone had experience trying to run one of those under WinOS2, by

- that use them, although I suppose in some ways the libraries that allow
- you to recompile your C applications to do this are intended for
- vertical market programs for the most part....
