  17. I'm sorry, I misread this.  No, you don't HAVE to buy any OS/2 apps,
  18. if you don't want to.  The DOS emulator (included) works very well for
  19. most applications.  The WIN-OS2 program (also included) will run most
  20. Windows applications in Real or Standard mode.
  21.  
  22. Of course, if you get OS/2 apps, you'll find them faster and better
  23. than their DOS/Windows counterparts simply because you won't have an
  24. emulator in the way.
