- Sure. It's called booting to plain dos or using someone else's computer.
-
- The dumb thing requires that it be able to put the processor in V86 mode
- itself, and since OS/2 does that already for DOS sessions, it dies.
-
- I deleted it. I suggest you whine at the company for being so stupid as to
- make a program that is completely incompatible with:
- Windows 3.1
- OS/2
- QEMM
- 386Max
- and EMM386.EXE which comes with dos!
