Someday that may be true, but today it can't. There is at least one open time
stamping bug that makes the connections worthless. Getting such bugs fixed is
easier said than done, because virtually none, or possibly 100%, of the
people who might fix them, keep OS/2 or WinDOS systems available for the
purpose of testing.
