That sounds like a very good idea. Right now I don't really know what to do with the two sets of OS/2 patches... Since Michael is cc'ed here, Michael, what do you think of this?

This works for me. As I've said in the notes on my patches, there is some "textual" conflict between Andrews patches and mine (meaning that my patches won't work after his have been applied). However, I see no functional conflicts, and as I've said I'd be happy to create new patches that will work with his.

Also, Andrew: I have a lot of experience with CVS and I'm willing to offer any help you need. I can also test changes on Linux.

My only wish is that this be resolved quickly so I don't have to keep revising my patches to keep up with the (rapidly evolving) baseline ;-).
