(** Moderator's note: 'SOM' stands for 'System Object Model', and deals
largely with the object-oriented architecture of OS/2 and its default
interface, the WorkPlace Shell. 'VAC++' refers to the OS/2 version of
VisualAge for C++, IBM's own C/C++ compiler **)

Found this in the Notes: section of
http://service2.boulder.ibm.com/devcon/showcase/cat/warptlkt.htm

"IBM no longer supports SOM; however, the information about SOM remains
in the Toolkit"

That's not good news... the WPS is completely based on SOM.

Got this from an anonymous source:

"True, SOM is going away, mainly because they're changing SOM to look
more like Java.  You'll see it in the next version of the VAC++
compiler."
