Lee says he is here (or near) L.A., so I'm okay with it. For the sake of ease & simplicity, I just ask that he run it on his own system (and perhaps everyone who has OS/2 does that too so an aggregate of the results can be had) for the "before" so that we only have to get together once with the upgraded machine to do the "after". I'd suggest that you work with him directly to get the appropriate test suite (OS/2-based) to him (and/or that you come up with a consensus from the list that this is a fair & appropriate test). ------- Randal J.
