Hi Brian,

For some reason, I had to start a really old machine (AMD 486 DX4 ;-) )
having OS/2 Warp v4.0 installation (with FP11) rather than something
newer like MCP, eCS or ArcaNoe. Since I haven't used that machine for
ages, it still had a development build of FC/2 v2.40 from June 2009 and
it worked fine. I tried updating the FC/2 version to the latest FC/2
development build from April, but it crashed on startup. I tried the
official 2.40 version as well, but it crashed as well. I don't know if
you documented somewhere that FC/2 requires some higher fixpak or even
MCP/eCS/ArcaNoe, or that a newer CPU is required - sorry if this is the
case and I just missed it. Supporting such a legacy version (or such an
old CPU) certainly isn't worth too much effort unless it's something
really trivial. However, it might be useful to document the requirement
if recent FC/2 isn't supposed to run on such installations.

Tomas
