- Without seamless windows, anytime you start a Windows application, the
- screen switches over to a full screen version of WinOS2. To access your OS/2
- stuff without quitting the program you have to use the desktop icon to
- switch back to the WPS.
-
- With seamless windows, the Windows program runs right on top of the WPS
- desktop. You can still see/use all of your icons/programs without doing
- anythine special.
-
- (Seamless windows is how they did that cool pic on the back of the box that
- shows prodigy, wpwin, 123/OS2, and coreldraw/OS2 all running in little
- windows together.)
