    IIRC, I am thinking that the only programs I tried running under DV that wouldn't work also wouldn't work under OS/2 -- or at least I never went to the trouble to try.

    I am positive I did try Simcity 2000 and it did *not* work. Another that I had trouble with was PC-Write and, for that matter, Wordperfect 5 for DOS. I never tried either of those under OS/2 but suspect that one or both might just work.

    It looks like there was an OS/2 version of SimCity 2000. It's on the Internet Archive:

    I believe there was also a Windows 3.1 version of SimCity 2000. Perhaps that might run in the Windows subcomponent of OS/2.
