If anyone is actually running OS/2 V1.3, can you answer a couple of
questions for me:

1) Do video drivers from V1.2 work under 1.3?
 Yes.. quite well
2) Does the Novell OS/2 requester for V1.2 work under 1.3?
 Don't know
3) Does the new version include palette management APIs?
 I don't do OS/2 1.3 programming so I don't know
4) Does it have the same Desktop Manager/Control Panel, or have these
   been changed to look more like Windows 3?
 The same as 1.2

It's worth it.  It's a little smaller, it runs apps a bit faster,
and just feels crisper.  Take advantage of the free upgrade of 1.2
to 1.3.
