Do you run actual OS/2 (what version??) or... is it ArcaOS? I've played around w/ Arca (the new paid OS/2-compatible OS, I THINK its Arca..) a bit. I remember your post and...

Nice! Glad you found a fix and got it working... all it needed was a damn .1 second delay?! Did you get the fix on the newest version of RG, or what version??

Are you running a BBS on it? Hit us with the addy if so; if not, lemme know if yer gonna release an article about the fix - or even an updated version of RG for those few OS/2 users who might have this issue; I'd love to host on 2oFB.

:P
