At last count, OS/2 is a single-user, multitasking OS. A network is a multiuser environment. Single user PCs and networks mix like Serbs and Croats (let's be topical here). ACLs are nice, but the lack of ACLs in UNIX is hardly a reason to justify the complete lack of protection in OS/2. PS: comp.os.os2.advocacy. It's time. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
