Thanks Glenn, that's what I originally wanted to know. I downloaded the
trial version but it wouldn't work on my machine for some reason. I didn't
persevere with it as I have decided to move to Linux instead.

The realisation came to me while I was setting up OS/2 as a platform to run
my Win3.1, New Deal Office and DOS apps from that things were just getting
silly, and that I could do everything I wanted on Linux with a lot less
hassle and a lot more reliability.
I have a total of 8 operating systems on two computers, and while it's
interesting it's not particularly productive. I'll keep Linux, and Win95
for compatibility purposes, and the rest will get wiped. I might keep
OpenDOS since DOS comes in handy occasionally, and New Deal Office, since I
really like it, and... oh God no, it's happening again!!! :-)
