  23. >Well, if Ardi is going to do a Windows port, than it is trivial to do an 
  24. >OS/2 port from the Windows code.  Does this look like a good compromise?
  25.  
  26. For a first try, perhaps this is good.  However, there are many
  27. optimizations and features to be made use of (WPS, OpenDoc, IFS
  28. to name a few) that would require more coding than just a DAX
  29. port.
  30.  
  31. I'd be happy with a DAX port, with assurances that a more "native"
  32. version would be in the works...and that it wouldn't be indefinitely
  33. back-burnered to an NT version (when there are < 1Mil NT boxes
  34. out there, compared to at least 8-9Mil OS/2 boxes.)
  35.  
  36. Flames & comments on this last point, *again* followup to
  37. comp.os.os2.advocacy.
