- This is almost correct. You can run ANY OS/2 app, but if it's a PM (or
- WPS) program you won't be able to see the application so it's use running
- such programs is limited. You can only work with text mode programs. As for
- being useful, depends on what you want to do. I use it to check on my email
- periodically and using the GNU emacs port I can edit files which I can then
- transfer, via modem, to my PC at home, etc.
