You said you got it (Wind95) so that you could use "long-filenamed HTML
documents with a 64k color web browser".   OS/2's WebExplorer certainly 
supports long filenamed HTML documents and you can get drivers for 
the 701C that support 64k colors.  Since you obviously prefer OS/2 over
Wind95 why not go back to it and get back the crash protection and
smooth multitasking.  The next version (code-named Merlin) will have an
interface that is much slicker than Wind95 and has the underlying infra-
structure to support the interface properly.
