- TN> Is it possible & how do you start a mma-session in os2.

- Mathematica for Windows will not run on the currently shipping
- version of OS/2 (version 2.0). However, it WILL run on OS/2 v 2.1, which
- is supposed to be released this quarter. Anyone can get a copy of the OS/2
- 2.1 beta on cdrom, directly from IBM, for $15.
- I have been running MMA-Win 2.1 on the OS/2 2.1 beta for a few days
- now. Installation is easy. First configure WinOS/2 to come up in
- enhanced mode. Make sure it is allocated plenty of dpmi memory. Then run
- the Mathematica install program from inside WinOS/2.
- I'm still trying to solve a few problems. Most importantly, I can't
- seem to change the default fonts. But it is a major miracle that the
- program runs at all in the OS/2 environment. People said that this was
- impossible.
