Application Support
OS/2 Version 2.0 supports concurrent execution of the following types of
applications:
DOS applications, in full-screen mode or in windows
on the Presentation Manager desktop
Microsoft Windows applications, in windows on the
Presentation Manager desktop
16-bit OS/2 applications developed for previous versions
of OS/2
New 32-bit applications developed for OS/2 Version
2.0.
All applications execute as protected mode processes under OS/2 Version
2.0, and are therefore provided with pre-emptive multitasking and full memory
protection; each application is isolated from other applications and from
the OS/2 Version 2.0 operating system itself.
