 DESCRIPTION-

        This suggestion is aimed at the base operating system of OS/2
        Warp and OS/2 Warp Server:

        Introduce to OS/2, the ability to execute MAC related programs
        in the same manner as Windows and DOS applications are allowed
        to execute under Win-OS/2.  This would make OS/2 the premier
        "integrating platform" and would provide MAC users with a
        migration path to true 32-bit computing.

        Incorporation of MAC support would include use of the OS/2
        "clipboard" to cut/copy/past data between program (possibly
        DDE as well).

        ATTRIBUTES:

        MEDIUM Value
        Desired NEXT full release

        BENEFIT$

        1.  Expanded market share for OS/2, by making OS/2 available
            to MAC users who are interested in a true 32-bit
            operating system.

        2.  Expanded market share of PC sales for users who want to
            migrate off the MAC standard.
