Hi all. I hope you're having a better day than I am.

Today, I tried to install programs on OS/2 Warp 4.52. It did not go well (including not installing the OS on VirtualBox; I had to download a VDI file with it already installed). It's hard to find versions of software that work with Windows 3.1, even using the Internet Archive and searching abandonware sites like Vetusware. I tried installing the DJGPP C/++ development tools, but for some reason the bin directory wasn't added to the PATH environment variable (even after I edited AUTOEXEC.bat).

This is not the way I wanted to spend my birthday!

I was doing it with the intent of having some fun learning to use and develop on an old system that's "a better Windows than Windows" (at least for the sake of being more stable), but I eventually got fed up with the OS/2 system and deleted the VM. I think I'll stick to using my Windows 9x, 2K and XP 64-bit VMs, since I don't need to learn how to use those operating systems (and I can at least install and run stuff on them). Oh, well, what the hell?!
