JA> I have not heard that Borland will be killing OWL! Why would
JA> they do that? 

  Aside from OWL being specifically designed for Windows
(originally), the reason that OWL for PM came into being was a
result of the whole OWL AppWare deal that they were developing in
conjunction with Novell.

  Novell, at the time when the OWL for PM was about 90% complete,
pulled out of the deal and it died.  Grumblings have been heard on
the Borland forums of CompuServe that OWL for OS/2 was finished if
it did not sell big.  This, incidentally, was over the Holidays
and ironically Borland people were not on-line at the time (they
had that period off) to respond.

  Another famous rumour also heard was that Microsoft may buy
them...anybody know the number for Watcom?... but, I actually
think that was more just silly noise...as no one seems to have
heard too much about that.
