- The 2.1 beta will have MMPM/2 built in. WinOS/2 has had OLE since the day it
- was released with V2.0 GA.
-
- WinOS/2 3.1 allows you to plug in all the neat little sounds and thingies that
- Win3.1 does......it is just OS/2 itself that doesn't have these features
- (yet....:-))
-
- WinOS/2 3.1 is - for all practical purposes - Windows 3.1. The only difference
- i have been able to find so far is there is no Windows terminal applet and you
- can't install Windows for Workgroups over it.
-
- Other than that....if you want to use Whoop-it-up or other little Windows
- add-ons.....go for it with Os/2 2.1
