We have been looking for a way to link our DOS/Windows environment to the

OS2/Windows environment.  To further add to this mess we have all of our

programs residing on a server resulting in the following configuration:

Network Windows Directory:	W:\win31
Local Drive Windows Directory:	D:\win31
OS/2 Drive			E:

Path command for DOS/Windows:	PATH=D:\WIN31;W:\WIN31;%PATH%

To run a common environment with WINOS2 we have done the following:

1)	cd e:\os2\mdos\winos2
2)	rename win.com win.co_
3)	copy winos2.com d:\win31\wonos2.com
4)	cd e:\os2\mdos\winos2\system
5)	copy gdi.exe os2gdi.exe
6)	copy user.exe os2user.exe
7)	edit e:\autoexec.bat and add the following to the bottom of the file:

	path=d:\win31;%path%;w:\win31

8)	edit d:\win31\system.ini file to read as follows:

	[boot]           
	useos2shield=1
	os2shield=winsheld.exe
	shell=progman.exe

You now have both DOS and OS/2 Windows running the same environment
