Pretty good stuff, Bob. that would have been originally published circa 1989? 5.Does Win 3.11 work with OS/2 for Windows? No it does not. From what we have been able to learn without the benefit of source code, which IBM refused to provide Microsoft, OS/2 for Windows patches Windows in memory at fixed address locations. Such a design makes OS/2 for Windows extremely fragile because it depends on Windows code being frozen over time. AND... We think IBM bears the responsibility for designing OS/2 for Windows in such a way that virtually guaranteed it would break if Microsoft made any changes in Windows. Nonetheless, in an effort to assist our mutual customers, Microsoft will provide purchasers of Windows 3.11 who experience difficulty running the product with OS/2 for Windows with the unimproved Windows 3.1 files which we modified in Windows 3.11 to fix various bugs. Our Product Support Services will distribute these as soon as a diskette can be made available. . . . How 'bout them apples, Duane and Dwight?
