it's basically the philosophy of many software developers, especially the
'little' ones. besides. if the port is done,
you can use OS/2 to start up win and then start TSE if it's ported.
Basically there are 2 reasons why many business don't port easily to OS/2 :
o there is no need to as it is compatible already with OS/2
(be it DOS or windows)
o the number of windows systems and potentionally the users
of the software outnumbers OS/2 users by a very large
percentage.
it's just called business. to stay alive is making decisions and sometimes,
that decision looks wrong. real life -- Semware isn't the only one that
doesn't directly develop for OS/2 (compared to the other platforms -- how bad
they may seem in your view)
any idea why there is no PC-MOS specific version ?
