   Hi Don,

   Some programs will, some won't.  What you're thinking of is what's called   
   Win32S (or Win32C).  It's still available but not fully supported.   
      
   Fun fact: in 1998 and 1999, I was working in Austin, Texas.  I knew a lot of   
   people that worked at IBM there (and at that time, that was the "home" of   
   OS/2).  While this never left the lab, I did see a version of OS/2 Warp 4.52   
   that had -full- compatibility with Windows 95 but because of the acrimony   
   between Microsoft stealing OS/2 to make Windows NT and IBM, that little gem   
   never came to see the light of day.
