v1.6 is currently being tested.

They plan on porting OW to Linux one day. That'd be great. Be able to
compile DOS, OS/2, Windows and Linux binaries with one compiler. 

I've got problems compling the OS/2 binaries. Running into 

  c:\dv\cvs\dmaken.exe  maxdb.dll
  wpp /dOS_2 /2 /oe1/od/d2 /oals/s/j/zp1 /ml /oe1/od/d2 /Fo=WCp\dbase.obj
/xs   /zu /ml /r /bd  dbase.cc
  dbase.cc(284): Warning! W549: col(35) 'sizeof' operand contains compiler 
 generated information
  dbase.cc(941): Error! E348: col(59) cannot define a member pointer with a
  memory model modifier
  dmaken.exe:  Error code 136, while making 'WCp\dbase.obj'
  dmaken.exe:  Error code 255, while making 'tracklib'
  dmaken.exe:  Error code 255, while making 'btree'

errors with the btree stuff. I don't know why it refuses all memory model
options in this section of OS/2 C++ code. I'll ask somebody.

I'm hoping compiling under native OS/2 will work but dunno.

... need to get these danis506r177 drivers working first. Heh.
