Wasn't finished. I had enormous problems with OS/2 up to Warp Connect FP20, and that would have been about the time the PPC port was set aside. Likely had it proceeded, OS/2 would have continued and I'd be using OS/2 today;-) Remember IBM and Apple had joint development efforts back then on things such as OpenDoc and SOM. -- Cheers John Summerfield Please, no off-list mail at all at all.
