Some days ago the Odin Team at OS/2 Netlabs released the first public
alpha version of Odin since the code is open source.

For those of you who still don't know it, Odin and Odin32 is an
approach to get Win32 support in OS/2 (it is no emulator!). The
homepage of the project is located at http://www.netlabs.org/odin/

We are very proud to say that the project made great progress, a lot
more applications are running with Odin actually, especially slim
programs. A lot of Odin users reported applications, which are running
on OS/2 without problems, for example:

- Acrobat Distiller 3.01 (PDF-File generator)
- SmartDraw (Chart designing program)
- CDRLabel (CD labeling application, even printing works very well)
- WinHelp (Help system of Windows)
- Word 6.0 for Windows NT 3.51 (32bit edition)
- ... and more

One of the very promising applications is Lotus Notes R5, we are
already able to start the application, you can find a screenshot of it
at the Odin page (it's mentioned in the "News" section). As you may
know we also working on a port of the Opera webbrowser to OS/2. With
Odin32 we can actually compile the whole V4.0 Win32-Sourcecode without
significant changes in the code.

If you are interested in our progress, check the Odin application
database at http://www.netlabs.org/odin/MiscApplications.phtml
You are also welcome to add your application to the database!

For impatient users we have daily builds available, note that we don't
support any of the Odin versions actually because progress is changing
almost every day. We are not that much interested in bug reports
because of this reason.

But we still need more skilled developers, the more support we get the
faster we are! If you think that you can support our project, get more
information about how to join at the Odin page.

That's it for the moment, thanks for all the support so far!

and the whole Odin Team at OS/2 Netlabs
