I just updated to VirtualBox-6.1.2-135663-Win.exe. I don't see any
operational changes. I doubt if they fixed anything, related to OS/2.

Sounds like a lot of work, for little gain, but if it does what you want
it to do, don't mess with it.

Should work okay, I think.

I would attach it, but I don't think attachments are allowed in this
mail list. There is nothing private about it. It is pretty much as it was
installed, except I used my LCSS (Logical Config.Sys Sort,
available from HOBBES) utility on it. There are a few tweaks, but
none of them would affect shutdown. Sorting *may* affect
something (but I doubt it).

As I said, if it does what you want it to do, use it the way it is.

CONFIG.SYS not sent. I don't have your address...
