      In a message on Wednesday 01-05-16 Kurt Weiske said to Holger Granholm:              Good morning Kurt,               HG> I wouldn't even dream of running a BBS under ANY Windows.              KW> I've run my BBS under DOS, OS/2, and Windows. IMO, windows wasn't a       KW> real contender until Windows 2000 came around and hardware caught up              I did run my BBS first under DOS, then DOS/DesqView and finally OS/2.       With later versions of PCBoard came also instructions, and sample PIF       files for running the board under Windows, but with my experience of       the reliability of Windows, didn't make me consider that.              KW> I ran 2 nodes on a 486/66 with 16 megs of RAM in OS/2, but 2 nodes       KW> in Windows on a P233MMX with 64 megs ran about the same.              The multitasking under OS/2 was so much faster, that I never again       considered the return to DOS/DV.              Have a nice day,              Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * OS/2 ...
