  19. AOL uses Geoworks, which, last I checked, isn't owned by Microsoft.
  20.  
  21. There have been many AOL/Geoworks patches floating around, however.
  22. There's one available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, for
  23. example.
  24.  
  25. Also note that in one of the last OS/2 applications lists I saw that
  26. Sierra Online had some sort of native OS/2 software for connecting to
  27. their service.  I haven't verified that, but you might want to check
  28. with them.
