Subject:	SCOUG-Help: eCS 2.0 Didn't Last Long.

Content Type: text/plain

Hi Foxey and Ray
I am too not very keen to swap to eCS due some newer, windoof-like,
adjustments or behaviors !!!

Generally OS/2 4.52 installs better and easier than eCS, IMHO too !!

But Foxey is correct:
Even OS/2 4.52 cannot maintain its paritions properly !
Here comes eCS: It's more accurate with todays technology !!

On the other hand:
Once setup and well maintained with OS2mt there isn't a big
difference !!!

Set quite alike it comes to ones personal taste and there is nothing to
discuss: one likes red, yellow and yet another green ...
... setup and use what one personally likes and needs:

My maintained OS/2 Warp 4.52 does everything I need and want to do ! ;-D

Cheers and have a nice weekend with best regards from South East Asia
