Message-ID: <1991May8.204058.14655@agate.berkeley.edu> Date: 8 May 91 20:40:58 GMT Sender: root@agate.berkeley.edu (Charlie Root) Organization: ucb Lines: 19 I have a 20mhz sx, and I have seen the claims that OS/2 2.0 runs dos faster than dos does and windows programs faster than windows does. Will this be true on my sx also. Does anyone know of any plans for Turbo Pascal for OS/2 2.0 If one of the windows programs I intend to run under OS/2 crashes will it bring down all my other windows programs, and leave all dos and os/2 progs unharmed, or is the protection absolute? ie: if one windows program crashes it will have absolutely no conceivable effect on anything else at all. Will printing from a windows prog require that the windows print manager be loaded, or will the OS/2 equivalent grab the output. {any possibility of it doing the same for dos} Thank you in advance.
