      As to using OS/2 and Dos on the same machine... First, the
      compatibility box is not a true Dos box but a simulation of
      Dos - it has no separate device drivers ( although DDs can
      be bi-modal - meaning they can be written for both OS/2 and
      the compatibility box ).   To get Dos and OS/2 on the same
      machine you can use the dual-boot option of OS/2 ( SDK 1.05 )
      You might be able to get the multi-partition method to work
      using FDISK - but I'm not sure about this as I have not tried
      it. Hope this clears up some of your questions....
