- I wasn't so sure about Windows 3.1 (and I don't even want it all that
- much -- old technology and all) but all the advertisements I've read
- (and I have my OS/2 box sitting here staring me in the face) have stated
- that OS/2 is a 32-bit operating system. Seems to me, certain things
- need to remain 16-bit, like VDMs, but the graphics engine? And it
- wasn't until after I bought it that I learned that certain things that
- SHOULD be 32-bit were actually 16. I'd say the definately owe us 32-bit
- versions of code that are an actual part of the OS.
