David ! All those years ! We work for the same company and I didn't notice !

yes, but many of us work not only with OS/2, but also unices and even 
mainframes. I do some maintenance on a OS/390. I could have sworn I was the 
last alive on earth to do so. The machine should have been decommissioned 
several years ago, but it just keeps on going. This contract ends on 31st dec. 
this year. I'm not dying to have it renewed yet again. After debugging JCLs on 
the amdahl, even "ed" looks user-friendly :-)
