- Known bug, that a non-PM program doesn't always pick up the correct
- icon. They expect to have it fixed in OS/2 2.1, from what I hear.
- (Anyone want to check and see if the 2.1 beta has the problem?)
-
- There is a workaround, but it is rather convoluted and I didn't bother
- to write it down when I heard about it. :-) I think it involves
- using START.
