Folks,

	Let's not be stupid and/or hasty about this... you are all smarter than
this sort of comment.  Of COURSE it runs better under Win95 than OS/2, since 95
runs over REAL  included dos nomatter what Microsoft marketing says.  OTOH,
it runs MUCH better in OS/2 than in WinNT, since OS/2 is optimized for compatability
whereas NT values security and reliability.  Choose your OS according to your
needs folks, and try to remember what's really an OS and what's not...
