Now _here_ is something I'm _very_ interested in. Can you be more
specific, perhaps offer a code example of something that must be done
"just so", or even contact the person who did the port and ask him for
more info about his notes?

And just out of curiosity, can ksh (if that's the name) be run _from_
CMD.EXE or do you have to modify the CONFIG.SYS line (SET
OS2_SHELL=x:\OS2\CMD.EXE)?

And if you contact him, can you find out what source modifications he
had to make?

Thanks!
