Supposedly IBM and Lotus made a deal - IBM would give up their rights to Lotus Notes (something about IBM owning a part of that) if Lotus would make sure equivalent OS/2 versions of the Smartsuite apps would appear within 3 months of new Windows versions. As there haven't been any new Windows versions recently... Also, the reports about Works slowing down Warp apply if you've *ever* installed Works. Deleting Works is not enough. You have to reformat, or deregister the Works objects. > Someone posted a Stacker-like program for OS/2 which took advantage of > 32bit performance....I looked and wound up installing Zipstream, which > can't be correct. Could I get the name of that file again, as it appears That's the right file. Are you sure you're using it correctly? I asked the authors if there's a way to make it compress OS/2's system files but they haven't answered. _____________________________________________________________________ |\_____________________________________________________________________\ | | | | | John H.
