I'm not talking about native OS/2 software developers, a category I do not

I'm talking about OS/2 claiming to emulate DOS and failing to do so.

The point is moot, since I'm not using any code that detects Bad Command or
File Name any more, and VFIDO with the internal Sort routines works just fine
under OS/2.
