- Uhh, Scott - that message was correct as written. Someone stated
- that OS/2 could not support the background execution of VESA-mode
- DOS apps, I responded with a message saying that that I didn't
- understand why it couldn't, and the original poster replied with
- the response that I was right and that OS/2 *could* technically do
- this - but doesn't at the moment. My guess is that you were thinking
- of another series of messages and mis-understood which one this was
- talking about.
