- Nope. It's been all 32bit here (GA + SPP with no third-party drivers)
- running in SVGA on a Tseng. My os2sys.ini reached 11MB before I caught
- it. I originally thought the problem was related to Deskpic, since it
- seems to have begun when I started using Deskpic, but other Deskpic
- users report no problems. Whatever the problem, 16bit drivers are not a
- requirement for a growing os2sys.ini.
