Hello Sean!

Forgot to add I have somewhere an updated? version of gatekeeper that I had 
changed and
used when I ran Adept.

With the demise - OK IBM discontinuing OS/2 and refusing to make the source 
available to
the community I switched to Linux.

The progress of OS/2 since then from both sides of the pond has not changed 
other than
changes to drivers and most of that was via the OS/2 community so I refused to 
remotely
consider paying silly money for a subscription for the so-called newer 
versions.

I and a few others offered to IBM to extract the Windows code base from Warp 
4.52 and
update it for modern CPUs including 32 and 64 bit operations but they ignored 
us.

My attitude after such response was to migrate away from it - pity it was a 
good system but
just has not kept up with newer technology so my decision to more away has 
proven valid.

Luckily my mainframe on a stick work does NOT require the use of OS/2 and 
Linux works well
as does a Windows platform when pushed.
