Ha!  To each his own, I guess.  Personally, I liked the Windoze version
_BETTER_ than the OS/2 version ;-)!  Probably the only OS/2 application that I
felt was inferior to its windows counterpart.  There's no accounting for
taste, I just like the windows screen presentations, toolbar, and the fact
that it doesn't default to leaving a bookmark.  Both applications were
obviously the "redheaded stepchildren" of IBM client development once they got
them working.

I like the softcopies, too.  Beats the heck out of having five manuals open on
a minuscule cubicle desk (that already contains a monitor, keyboard, and your
working designs) to research a single subject...
