> The question here is whether Autodesk would be wise to make 3DSr"5" compatible with BOTH [NT and OS/2] rather than locking it into one. < Have you considered the possibility that the economics of supporting a second OS may not be fiinancially viable? The expense of development efforts (both 1st and 3rd), customer service, documentation, and quality assurance more than double when adding a second OS because of the extra task of insuring parallel operability of the application versions. What about cross-network compatibility? There is another can of worms. — James — Choreo Motion —
