maybe it is real strength. but the requirements are Pentium and 64MB. 

As far as i know, IBM will move a lot of the technology into other
products. I've read the VACPP will include about 200 classes from Taligent
in 4.0 release and they will include some parts in the BaseSystem.

yes. 2 years ago at ColoradOS2 Grady Booch had a session. and he asked the
auditorium about the size of the frameworks they implement. the number of
classes/members and someone cried '3/10' and one cried '8/20' and one
'14/30' and one (vacpp) '200/1000' and one '2000/27000' the last one was a
Taligent developer. :-)

 WARPED!, Mario
