- Stein, This topic has spawned a lot of messages on CompuServe's Chess
- Forum of late. Bottom line, during the install process the copy
- protection scheme takes note of the CPU speed and type (among other
- things) and neither CB3 nor CB4 (the latest version) will run under OS/2
- unless everything else is shut down, so there's no time slicing going
- on between different applications. (I expect this means running it from
- the OS/2 penalty box only, but am not an OS/2 user so its all second
- hand to me). ChessBase USA is aware of this problem, and I would suggest
- that you make known to them your difficulties with this situation.
