subject: What would it take?

It would take a lot more work,  and the result would not be as good, as
DAPIE (Developers API Extensions for OS/2),  which mimicks the win32 api
(used by windows NT and 95) for OS/2 programs.

You compile your win32 source code with IBM's headers and libraries, and
new features built into PM and GPI (to be released in the next version of
OS/2) allow the program to run as a real OS/2 binary.

See previous msg from me;  subj: dapie is mirrors?
