Nope.
I was told last week by an IBMer who is responsible for OS/2
Object-Oriented Development that the Taligent objects would be totally
different from the UICL. He said the UICL was a bad product.
[I don't agree at all]
He told me that if I wanted portable code, I could as well write to the
OS/2 APIs since there would be compatibility at that level in Warp PPC.
But I don't see what would prevent you from recompiling the UICL under OS/2
PPC since they just wrap the OS/2 PM APIs into objects.
