It just crashs way to much for me. I would really like to be able to development under a win-os2 session. At least that way I am still developing under the same interface as my users will be using it. And you are testing it while you develop. I know with NewEra that if you use P-code and it works fine but then you turn it into a dll and run it that sometimes it does not work. Figure that one out. :) Ok, it was a bug but just remember that when you develop. Anyway, back to the topic of win-os2 session. To me it makes good sense to development this way. But the problem is that I can not get I-net and win-os2 winsock.dll to work together. I have used term program that use the winsock.dll and it works fine. I have even used it with Sybase and it works fine also. So, I am thinking that it is not IBM's fault that winsock.dll does not talk to I-net. Sounds to me more like an I-net problem. Maybe I am wrong but that is what it seems like to me at this point in time. If I can't figure out a way to be able to run NewEra in a win-os2 session, I will have to run it a different way. Like using x-windows, at least this way I am not using windows 3.1. :) Matt
