   RW> The last time I talked to Ray I told him about Blue Lion and he said that   
   RW> if there was enough interest, he would consider resurrecting SIO or   
   RW> SIO2K.   
      
   Is Blue Lion version 2.2?  If so, I am running one of the latest 2.2 betas   
   over here with SIO with no problems.   
      
   Actually, this is the first version of OS/2 that has a pretty stable Samba   
   sharing build in.  There was serious bugs in EVFS which would cause OS/2 to   
   crash randomly when mapping a share to another system.   
      
   That seems to be mostly fixed in 2.2 with one minor caveat.  If you have a   
   mapped drive from 2.2 to lets say Windows 7.  Then you reboot the Windows 7 VM   
   or system - 2.2 will crash with a JFS error.   
      
   It happens consistantly and probably another issue with EVFS.  Minor, since if   
   I reboot that VM, I will just reboot OS/2 afterwards.  Much better than random   
   issues that were happening before all the time.     
      
   I could map drives for the BBS *FROM* Windows 7 to OS/2 - no stability issues.   
   It was only when it was from OS/2 to Windows.   
      
   It wasn't a Samba bug, but EVFS.  There is also a big bug in OS/2 2.1 - where   
   the DOS session copy command will not work (will error).  You can only copy   
   via OS/2 command prompt.  That is also fixed in 2.2.
