   Precisely correct!  It all goes back to even ring level. multiple CPU's even   
   up tp sixteen of them and even machine language plus assembly language that is   
   involved with everything even through Warp 4.52.  I think most folks never   
   really had access to all this unless they were a valid member of the OS/2   
   Developer Group and were getting all of the update mess mostly step by step,   
   but even at that time not always without missing one or getting your hoofee   
   poked by an unknown nail when you stepped on it!  And went crying over it to   
   the 'crew' and got even your footsee patched up.
