Attempted to setup ODIN...but was not able to do anything else with it. That & win32s are interesting ideas...but until they become as easy to setup/use as WINE for linux...nice idea.

There's still too many limitations for me to use ArcaOS as my SD> personal OS even though I still love OS/2 in general. Have to agree with you on this. On the other hand...have my fingers crossed with QT5 coming...many of these limitations will disappear & make it as usable as any linux distro out there with the apps available. Personally...was never really into cars & such...so running OS/2 & goofing off with it is more like having that sports car as a middle aged crisis...only without the girlfriend or wife around to feel guilty about. ;) ACME BBS-Member of fsxNet/WWIVNet/SciNet/AmigaNet/VKRadio/FidoNet/MicroNet. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/04/21 (Windows/32) * Origin: ACME BBS-W.Coyote & D.Brown are our best users.
