Patrick:
Thanks much for the tip. Yes, I've run into this with OS/2 apps, back when I
was an OS/2 evangelist within our company. Unfortunately, we could not convince
our HW/SW suppliers to adequately support OS/2. I still believe it is the best
desktop OS around, but I finally had to capitulate to Windoze. I'm not knocking
Mickey$oft or their software, but OS/2 apps running on 100% compatible OS/2
hardware blows Win apps away.
But you get tired of seeing all the really good stuff go Windoze and pass you
by, so I caved in. Besides, 100% of the delivery platforms I will be developing
for are Windoze machines, so despite its shortcomings I really had no viable
alternatives. When Win95 comes out we'll see a ton of recompiled but
unoptimized apps for it. I mean, hardly anyone takes full advantage of Win32
now, so I guess we can't expect them to re-craft their code for Win95 anytime
soon, right?
As I find really good 32-bit code I'll share my results with the forum. And I
look forward to hearing again from you and the others. Thanks much,
Sid Phillips
