- You get another one...like Norton Desktop, NewWave, PM (for OS/2). Or you
- could write your own...just like in Unix. In OS/2, the interface is just
- a program that runs on top of the Presentation Manager. In Windows, I
- don't know how you change it, but there is a way, because hundreds of
- thousands of Windows users use Newwave and NDW.
