After using CD for OS/2, I'd recommend not even getting it.  This is not
even a "good" SMK port of their Windows product.  It locks up the machine
whenever you print -- you can't even select a different window or "hot
key" to another app.  And printing is S-L-O-W, even with the print spooler.
(Just last night, I was printing out a simple "routing slip" -- over 
three minutes of "lock up" time for CD to transfer the page to the spooler.)

I called the product manager at Corel with these and other problems.  He
said there would be a version released "sometime this summer."  I recommend
_not_ buying the product until the update arrives.
