- You can run Mathematica 2.1 for DOS in an OS/2 DOS session. I run it
- fullscreen; it can also be run in a window (but it switches into
- graphics mode to show plots, which can be awkward in a window). You
- must give the DOS session a large amount of DPMI XMS space (I give it
- 8MB).

-
- Your guess is as good as anyone else's out there.
