Yep, it looks to me like it is. There are a few packages that need more
work but the ones that I need are all there.

OS/2 is DOS app friendly, I used it myself for years. If there was no
linux, OS/2 is what I'd use but even that doesn't compare to linux (as
far as I can see, anyway). Actually, I see quite a few gcc compilers
and GNU stuff travelling the OS/2 file echoes. It's an add on to OS/2
though, *nix stuff is just that way.. :)
