- Personally, I can't believe that Windows95 support [is going to come /would be]
- before OS/2, afterall there is no native gcc for 95, but we've got two
- complete followings of gcc for OS/2 ( EMX and gcc/2 )
-
- I think porting Executor to a native OS/2 VIO app would take less than a
- week with EMX. And a really *flashy* ( threaded, DIVE, etc )
- executable could be had within a month.
-
- Something to think about...
-
- Sheesh.. I'd even do the port if you all ( ARDI ) would like 8-)
-
- Just some thoughts.
