- Well, why doesn't it? (And yes it would!)
-
- I would get really upset if one program recommended that I delete
- another to free up space, if I want to free up space I will do so, and I
- will choose what will stay and what will go. Now I know that the above
- message does not imply that DOS 6 will not run with OS/2 installed or
- that it will delete the OS/2 files, however it certainly looks to me
- like it is recommending that I delete OS/2, which I _DON'T_ want to
- do....
-
- Oh well, I'll probably never have a copy of DOS 6 anyway....
