Re the discussion on dual boot.  The procedure outlined by Hayo Baan
included a step (1) Partition your disk into one FAT and one HPFS
partition.  He then recommends putting DOS on the FAT and OS/2 on the
HPFS.  I'm just here to say that OS/2 gets along just fine with FAT,
although there are certain advantages to HPFS.  The computer on my desk
at work is partitioned into C and D, both FAT, both DOS and OS/2 on the
C drive.  I support 45 more stations identically configured, and they all
work fine.  What I have NOT done is try and put DOS on HPFS.  Maybe
later ;-)
