I am one of the frustrated OS/2 device developers struggling with the incomplete documentation, buggy debug kernel supplied by Microsoft. They have the lousiest support for developers & all I can say is that OS/2, Microsoft, their DDK (device driver development kit) sucks. Microsoft are you listening? Better go for Unix than their proprietary OS/2. If you look around you will find a Unix that supports multiple DOS sessions, multi-threaded, X-window support, public domain utilities, etc Even their non-standard Presentation Manager sucks. If anyone cares to reply, do so to gangwani@andromeda.rutgers.edu Gangwani. D
