For a first try, perhaps this is good. However, there are many
optimizations and features to be made use of (WPS, OpenDoc, IFS
to name a few) that would require more coding than just a DAX
port.
I'd be happy with a DAX port, with assurances that a more "native"
version would be in the works...and that it wouldn't be indefinitely
back-burnered to an NT version (when there are < 1Mil NT boxes
out there, compared to at least 8-9Mil OS/2 boxes.)
Flames & comments on this last point, *again* followup to
comp.os.os2.advocacy.
