- Well, during that month, how about you guys look at the DAPIE stuff
- IBM has put into OS/2 with Fixpack 17, so you can figure out which parts of
- the Win 95 code you could share with OS/2 code, encapsulate the
- non-portable UI parts, and give us an OS/2 native version too. Using DAPIE
- would make it easier to keep the sources for the OS/2 and the Win 95
- versions close together.
-
- I remain unconvinced that the Win 95 market is that much larger than the
- OS/2 market. And I'd buy an OS/2 license, though not a Win32 license.
