- It seems that the new drivers are better for DOS, but don't work for
- OS/2 programs! Fortunately, I am using DOS programs. But it seems
- that IBMs patches have all created new problems.
-
- I wish they would get it together! It would seem that they are
- missing really blatant bugs! Also, it is a real problem that people
- are putting patches under the same name...the original COM patch was
- called COMMGA. The new one should have a new name like COMMGA01.
- Otherwise, it is impossible to tell whether you are downloading a new
- driver or an old!
