Irregardless, IBM paid Microsoft to develop OS/2... there's even a real MS-branded OS/2, but they sold it for less than a year, so its a bit less than common... amusingly, LAN Manager REQUIRES OS/2 to run, and MS kept selling LAN Manager for a good amount of time after they canned OS/2... Almost everyone under the sun had their own little branded LAN Manager version once, such as 3Com, DEC, IBM, etc. Will J ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
