I think folding it into OS2DOS is more appropriate than the busy OS2 echo.

My 2 cents.

There are very few boards picking this up anyways. I'll most likely close
up the shop early next year. Perhaps there might be some y2k problems someone

Once upon a time, out on MARS.

While reading the mail, wispering this:

Arrived ok, in So. Cal.

I'm still promoting OS/2 as an alternative to the M$ OS's for
BBS's around here, and there are a small core of die-hards
running OS-goo for their machines, since it is so very stable. We
need to try to get more participation by others, and perhaps open
up the echos to more readers??
