Currently TOP Version 3 (for Dos and Win32) is in development. The following was posted on on the TOP website on March 8, 1998 --------------------------------------------- Status of TOP for OS/2 At this time, there are several problems with TOP for OS/2 (TOP/2). These problems will require a fair amount of work on my part to fix. In addition, testing of the OS/2 version is difficult as it requires me to plug in an extra hard drive in order to run OS/2 for testing. It is for these reasons that I am not currently planning any further support for TOP/2. However, I am willing to alter these plans if public support for TOP/2 is shown. If you have an interest in seeing TOP/2 maintained, please contact me. I will also need OS/2 beta testers (preferably running Maximus/2). If you might be able to help, please indicate this. Only through public support will the OS/2 version survive. This announcement is not intended to threaten OS/2 users. I would gladly support the OS/2 version if it was easier for me to do so. Unfortunately, in my view the effort required is just not worth it unless I know people are going to be using the version. --------------------------------------------- The Online Pub is a multi-featured chatroom door for multi-line BBSes such as Maximus/2.
