Good morning Kurt,

I did run my BBS first under DOS, then DOS/DesqView and finally OS/2.
With later versions of PCBoard came also instructions, and sample PIF
files for running the board under Windows, but with my experience of
the reliability of Windows, didn't make me consider that.

KW> I ran 2 nodes on a 486/66 with 16 megs of RAM in OS/2, but 2 nodes
KW> in Windows on a P233MMX with 64 megs ran about the same.

The multitasking under OS/2 was so much faster, that I never again
considered the return to DOS/DV.

Have a nice day,

Holger
