      Yep Marcus!                      ml> the way that i'm aware of it is that many virtual         ml> machine emulators also do not recognise the machine         ml> language instructions that OS/2 uses to boot with...         ml> i'm not aware of any way to make then emulate older         ml> CPUs either... i'm just aware that OS/2 pretty much         ml> cannot be run in most machine emulators and this         ml> machine instruction problem is the reason...              Spot on correct and since modifications to the OS/2 operating system for all       general purposes cannot be made at all without a complete re-boot with the       exact right permission from the real administrator which is *NOT* somebody not       only away from the 'home' operation but also cannot be run by a 'nasty in the       middle' that users can never see..               Is one of the reasons that the OS/2 system, when run as intended and        properly installed is really a huge amount safer than almost any        other operating system!               So long as you don't allow the Netbios Over TCP IP driver        to be installed and used on your nice OS/2 doggie pen.                      .~.        /V\ OS/2!
