If I have an app that runs under both OS/2 and Win, then I put it on a
neutral drive. OS/2, Win and DOS can perform maintenance on each other.
With multiple OSs, that have access to each other, they can share and
we don't need maintenance partitions. And there you have my big bitch
with eCS, it doesn't play nice with others. Having to stuff and HPFS in
the middle of everything makes a mess.
