Yep, me too. I even run multiple Windows tools in different windows sessions concurrently on my desktop. i.e. Over the last few weeks, I have been running regularly 3 to 4 OS/2 Sql*Loaders, 1 OS/2 Sql*DBA, and Sql*Studio for windows all at the same time. Not to mention a slip/pop connection and a copy of Micro Focus Cobol Workbench. I have to run the Sql*Loaders for the damn Windows users around here....
