- This isn't exactly true. Borland's tdw will run. You don't get 386
- debugging, so a UAE will crash the debugger and the WINOS2 box, but they
- reboot quickly with 16MB of ram. I've had one strange run in with
- Winspector than crashed all of OS/2 when the UAE hit, but other than
- that time the winspctr.log file gets written before OS/2 closes the box.

- I've found OS/2 to be a fairly good Windows development environment. It
- acts slightly differently than normal Windows, but it is close enough
- for most work. You should obviously test your code under retail
- Windows before any sort of release.
