I disagree -- it is directly related to all these gaming groups, since so 
many games demand such a wide variety of configurations.  I wanted to 
know if Win95 performed as well as OS/2 in handling such a scenario.  The 
quality of the answer, IMHO, has direct bearing on the quality of both of 
these operating systems as gaming platforms.

Obviously you are having trouble extrapolating from my FILES= example to 
other -- more important -- configuration settings, such as the ability to 
manipulate system memory, selectively load device drivers, etc.  Not all 
of us are as challenged in our critical thinking abilities.
