What lockups? I'm not having any and I'm using all the same ones I had in WGFW.
Lose95 works great for me and all my friends are having problems with Oh Shit/2
so I have no idea what you're talking about.   All of the old apps work with no
problem and faster than they did before.  I haven't found any of the problems
that IBM propaganda would have us believe.  Even Multitasking works smoothly.
Sorry.
