-
- I think IBM is encouraging the term "DAX" to describe the Developer API
- Extensions, not "DAPIE". FWIW...
-
- >Using DAPIE would make it easier to keep the sources for the OS/2 and
- >the Win 95 versions close together.
-
- Very true.
-
- >And I'd buy an OS/2 license, though not a Win32 license.
-
- You're not the only one. I can't run a Win32 version here, and frankly
- don't care if one EVER exists. But a native OS/2 version would be very
- useful to me.
-
- Not that the DOS version is *bad* in a VDM. :-)
