I should get the DevCon CD by Friday.

Could you briefly explain how PM and DIVE work together?  Does DIVE allow
one to write into a PM window?  I also heard that DIVE is built into WARP,
but is available for 2.1 as well.  BTW, I look forward to having control
over the palette!   I'm working on a side-view platform game, and I'm 
hoping to be able to do an OS/2 version.  After that I'll be doing 
adventure and RPG games for OS/2.  So far the market looks wide open =^)

Thanks,
Michael Duffy
