Does anyone have advice on the imortance of OS/2 verses DOS
operating systems??  Can OS/2 be ported to a DOS machine to run
software designed for the OS/2 operating system??  If I buy a
less expensive DOS 386 machine, will I be unable to run future
OS/2 programs??  Is it important to buy computer that will run
OS/2 software??
