It is a re-release with window dressing because the core of OS/2 has not
been changed. That was my point, is my point, and will continue to be my
point.
ArcaOS has built on to OS/2 and eCS (since ArcaOS contains eCS-derived
features) but everything that has been done has not changed the fact that
ALL of the OS/2 derivatives are still single-user 32-bit operating systems.
That may have been good 10-15 years ago but for a modern OS, ArcaOS isn't
cutting it except for specialty uses.
So now, since this seems to be a sensitive subject, this discussion is over
in this echo. If you wish to continue, you can netmail me.
