Serenity Systems markets a Managed Client(r) product which provides
significant benefits to business users. We selected OS/2 as our
desktop client for many reasons and one is the broad range of
application support provided. 

However, we continue to receive requests to support Win32 
applications. Often this request is in addition to the requirement to
run Presentation Manager or WorkPlace Shell applications, which are
frequently Line of Business Applications.

After reviewing the product solutions available, we determined that
the best response to this requirement would be a hardware
modification to the workstation, enabling the system to support a
host operating system and guest operating system. Release 1 of the
product is anticipated to support an OS/2 host and a Windows guest.
The OS/2 support includes WorkSpace on Demand and OS/2 V4 (Merlin) 
with support for a Managed Client, run either as a diskless RPL
client or as a traditional "fat" client.

We have put an overview of this project on our web site
(http://www.Serenity-Systems.com/), with an associated questionnaire
which will help us through our product planning. Accessing the
document requires that you have a valid log-on for the site. You can
request a log on from Info@Serenity-Systems.com. Once you log on to
the site, click on the Project Concorde image and, if it is
appropriate, complete the questionnaire.
