  14. |    Let's get real for a moment, if that were the case, then would
  15. |it be SOOOO difficult for MS to write the following message:

  17. |with DOS 6.0 is not compatible with OS/2, you might consider deleting OS.2
  18.                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  19. |before proceeding."
  20. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  21. Why put this in at all?  If any type of warning is necessary, the
  22. first part above is all thats needed.
  23.  
  24. Secondly, how about "UNIX detected.....", "Solaris detected..." etc.
