not only can i run my tape backup under windows 95.. 
i am using archive backup exec which is a 16 bit dos application.
it formats, reads, writes, and walks the dog. 
 while..
   i am running photoshop, winvn, netscape, eudora, paintshop pro 3.0,
a 28.8 slip connection.
 while ....
   i am downloading in netscape, viewing another page, have five med. size
pics in photoshop, creating thumbnails in paintshop, downloading uuencoded 
text, reading some of this bull, and then i load descent..
oops..
whats wrong,
  i dont understand it
     how could this be.
        it works!

i am sure that os/2 can do this too.. although i have never tried that much
on os/2. but stop giving me this bs about win95

by the way, i beta tested warp too and it worked twice as well as the
commercial release.  and it installed the first time.
