  22. My own thoughts:
  23.  
  24. ARDI has DOS/Windows versions because that's where they can make a lot of 
  25. money quickly so that they can "get more staff, to do more, better, etc."
  26.  
  27. ARDI has Linux versions because they develop on Linux.
  28.  
  29. ARDI has NextSTEP versions because they've previously released versions 
  30. for that OS.  
  31.  
  32. While porting to OS/2 might be trivial, for ARDI, which has about as many
  33. engineers as fingers on your right hand, it would hold up development a
  34. lot.  
  35.  
  36. Besides, I'm sure you all would rather have a product that at least runs on 
  37. your OS sooner than later.
