No bloody way!  I'm running OS/2 Warp 4.5 with fix packs to correct known
problems -- not to satisfy some developers whim.

The voting is the easy part.  However my comments are not conjecture.
Having built products for IBM I know how much effort and expense is
involved in your "simple" request.  It would be nice if IBM can do it but I
doubt it -- the gain doesn't warrant the cost.  Anyway that's my last
comment on this topic on this list -- move it to MIDRANGE-L (or privately)
if you want to continue.

Simon Coulter.
