Hi Dr. What,

 On Saturday May 13 2023, Dr. What said to Vorlon:

I had a introduction to 2.1, from another user and he said that v3 would be
comming out soon, with lower memory requirements.

At the time I was working parttime at a local computer shop, and the owner
was very much into OS/2. When 3 did come out, I was given a copy. It wasn't
long before my Desqview/Qemm system was changed to run OS/2..
