- Don't expect that to change. Unlike other platforms, a TP under OS/2 is not
- necessarily a simple process. The Attach Manager is more flexible. I guess
- that since PIP data is pretty much like command line parameters, there is no
- really good fit in all cases under OS/2. It would be nice to have PIP data
- in some cases, but no dice. Couldn't you send what would have been PIP data
- at the beginning of the conversation?
-
- (BTW, beware sending PIP data from OS/2 to RS/6000 SNA. I never got it to
- work, with the invariable result that the RS would hard crash (888 on LED).
- I don't think IBM fixed that one.)
