Having been in a project where we were to use MSC 4.0 and having manifest
compiler/linking problems and contortions, we decided to bag DOS and develop
under UNIX to save ourselves a double pain:  poor MSC and poor DOS.  If someone
were to fence me in on when should I (we) start OS/2 development, my answer 
would be whenever a Borland (or other quality third party) C compiler is 
available to get the job done!


MSC: never again!
