Uhm, not really. No doubt there are some exceptions -- DOS games that try to
bypass the os and drive the hardware directly, or break other standard rules;
some DOS app.s that need tweaking of obscure settings to run well -- but for
the most part, I think the DOS environment in OS/2 is quite superior and more
stable, possibly even better than real DOS in some respects.
