I can believe that OS/2 swapped segments, but it'd be pretty surprising to
me to find out that they'd defined a fixed page size.  I've still got OS/2
1.1 and 1.2 kicking around somewhere, complete with the SDK stuff--all
printed, bound material.  A wonder of careful technical writing.  IIRC, if
the SDK docs say something works a certain way, it does.

Microsoft SDK/DDK documentation was a rude surprise after that.
