"Opera Software is going to take some time and look for programmers to
port Opera to the MacOS and OS/2!  Full information on this is
available at: http://www.operasoftware.com/alt_os.html"

As of December 1st, orders for an OS/2 version of Opera Software's
(http://www.operasoftware.com) Opera web browser have surpassed
requests for the Macintosh version, hovering at around 1250. In light
of this, Opera Software is quite enthusiastic about an OS/2 version.
According to the Project Magic page (above):

"We will now be taking some time (a month at most) to find programmers
capable and willing to tackle the task of porting Opera to Mac and
OS/2; very interesting contacts have already been established..."

Originally, Opera had planned to ask supporters for an 'up front' fee
in order to pay for development costs, but they may be reconsidering
that decision in favor of the more 'normal' method of payment required
only after the browser is finished:

"We haven't yet decided whether to actually ask for up front payment,
but we will be contacting you if this becomes reality."

For more information about the Opera web browser, see

Magic, either see the PM web page
