This is a bug in my code. I did a bad win32 check so OS/2 is getting a shell script instead of a CMD file.

argh.

I'm not sure I am going to be able to make this work on OS/2. I'm still thinking.

Basically the problem is that on OS/2 you can't wait for a child process if the child process as started with DosStartSession (as is the case here)

So when we try to do the zipping at the end, things return too quickly and files don't get created properly.

I might end up having to completely special case OS/2...

In order to workaround the process bug on OS/2, I display message boxes. bleh.
