- Yes but are they running 386Enh specific programs ? Mostly their programs
- don't need that mode (exept usefull DOS boxes).
-
- Well, many do. Smalltalk-80, FrameMaker, Mathematica. DOS boxes are
- not important, since they are much better under OS/2 2.0. I agree with
- the original post that IBM should have provided full support for
- Windows. They should have supported SVGA as well. They do not have to
- start at the same point as Win3.0 did, since IBM is not the first -
- they should use mistakes other made to learn.
- As for Microsoft, Smalltalk-80/Win3.0 does not run under Win3.1
- and the statement on the package said that all Win3.0 applications
- will run (that is why I returned it to Microsoft).
-
- Hopefully, the "fall" (???) CSD will fulfil everybody's dreams. If it
- does not, there might be 500,000 copies of OS/2 ready to be upgraded
- to Windows NT ;-) There is no hope for WIN-OS/2 running 386 Enh, though.
- What a pity, I have to stick to dual boot.
