os/2-version ist 99% clipper-compatible, minor changes for 
dbase-compatibility-functions und database-operation-scope are necessary. i 
ported 500k pure clipper 5.01-sources to os/2-textmode in one evening. the 
executable is little slower than the dos-executable in a VDM, but you don't 
have any more memory-problems. the gui-classes seem to be well structured and 
compatible between os/2 and win32.
