- According to the FAQL, you also need to have the optional bitmaps
- installed as well. I think selecting the optional bitmaps unpacks
- two files called "AAAAA.EXE" and "AAAAA.MET" to the \OS2\BITMAP dir.
-
- Just for fun, load up "AAAAA.MET" using Picture Viewer (included with
- OS/2 2.0). Now switch to another session... PV updates it's window
- in the background. This does not really do anything except to sample
- OS/2's multi-tasking robustness.
