Don,

I don't know about _that_, Don.  Once I got the environment variables (memory,
buffers, files, etc.) tweaked right, those Windows programs run better on my
OS/2 2.1 machine at the client site than they do my NT machine at home!  I
think that OS/2 gets a bad rap, more often than not, for poorly written
Windows programs and the fact that it doesn't set those environment variables
properly by itself.  Besides, when all the Windoze platform folks lose Rumba
when the network goes down, my little COM Manager still chugs 5250'ly away!

JME,
