First, I'll start off with the suggestion that if we want to get into
some deeper discussions about OS/2 that we move over to the OS2XXX
fora for the sake of our friends here on the ASOFT forum…. Until
then…

Check out our new "OS/2 for Windows" product. For 49$ (or $39 on CDROM) you can
add full OS/2 functionality to your existing Windows setup. This was very well
received at Comdex and deals with reaching the "preloaded windows" audience.

By realizing they could create a superior application in a market that is dying
for true OS/2 applications. Lotus, Wordperfect etc all were formed in the early
stages of DOS. The entrepreneur with a great app could do very well with the
millions of OS/2 users…. (BTW, I don't discount your argument about Windows
penetration, I'm just trying to look at the other possibilities)
