AR> Theseus 4000 will work correctly only with Convienence Packages.

 LA>    And WSeB.

 LA>    Anything that is built on the 4.5 kernel.

ML> I thought Irv commented that 4000 works only on the 4.51 kernel.  I thought

   <LOL> !!

   I'm not sure if there is actually any single human entity in 
   existence that groks the current state of the OS/2 kernel in it's 
   entirety, so don't feel bad about it...you ain't alone.

   All I can tell you for sure is that Theseus 4 will NOT run on 
   anything under FP13, and that it will run under WSeB. Other than 
   plans to move my desktop to a dual 600 smp MB with WSeB, I'm 
   staying well away from the whole ACP/MCP/ECS mess until it gets 
   straightened out. My WSA and WSASMP servers are rock-solid 
   screamers and I see no reason to change them at this point.
