 Many years ago I worked as a typwriter repair trainee for Royal
 Typwriter co.

 They had a sign on the wall that said,"We have no obligation to
 sell one more typwriter. However, we are morally obligated to
 maintain every typwriter we have ever sold."

 I like that philosophy.

 Now, if IBM is going to abandon OS2, the least they can do is
 make it public domain, so the public can support it.
