The proposed solution? Have OS/2 ISVs license these apps and distribute them as OS/2-compatible solutions, or license the source code and port the apps to OS/2, or even encourage the "doomed" DOS and Windows ISV's to open-source their applications. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
