Well, during that month, how about you guys look at the DAPIE stuff
IBM has put into OS/2 with Fixpack 17, so you can figure out which parts of
the Win 95 code you could share with OS/2 code, encapsulate the
non-portable UI parts, and give us an OS/2 native version too.  Using DAPIE
would make it easier to keep the sources for the OS/2 and the Win 95
versions close together.

I remain unconvinced that the Win 95 market is that much larger than the
OS/2 market.  And I'd buy an OS/2 license, though not a Win32 license.
