Nicky, please realize that IBM has made it very clear they are no longer 
interested in supporting the "consumer market" for OS/2.  Even large 
companies such as Creative Labs (SoundBlaster / MultiMedia) have recently 
announced that they will *not* support OS/2 in the future.  And Merlin sales 
are *not* setting the world on fire.  Sad, but true.  For more details, visit 
the two FIDO echoes OSDEBATE and/or OS-DEBATE.
So why would you want Robert Jung to waste his precious time on OS/2???
Cheers, Hans
