Quoting David Roper to Lawrence Gordon:
DR> Me, too. I was excited about the OS/2 version back before WARP,

The other problem is that PB is always a step or two behind MS. Just
when everyone could get excited about the new PB/DLL compiler, MS releases
VB 4.0 with all the 32bit stuff, which the PB/DLL compiler can't process.
Maybe there's a PB/OS2 in the future, but my hopes are growing dim, even
though I don't think OS/2 is dead.
PB for Caldera Linux anyone?
