How very true. I was writing a textbook under W3.1 using Lotus Ami Pro
(as it then was, an improvement on both its predecessors and its
successors). Every time I tried to generate the TOC under plain W3.1 I
got a BSOD. Running it under W3.1 under OS/2 it worked just fine.
OS/2 did have its problems though: I had a printer problem during the
install and every time I booted I had to confirm that the printer was
not offline. Nothing I could do would change this - including deleting
the printer and installing a fresh one...
Still, life is so much easier now with debian...
