- Ami Pro is available as an OS/2 app? That's news to me (good news if
- it's true). My understanding was that they were still working on it.
- And, Lotus just took over AmiPro within the last year...I question this
- information but will check it out. 123/G, of course, has been around for

- colours about OS/2 way back when Paradox 3.5 was released for DOS with no
- plans to bring Paradox OS/2 up to that release level, nor port the
- Paradox engine for retail distribution.
-
- If you have concrete evidence of the existence of AmiPro at the retail
- level, please let me know. In the interim I'll do some checking on my
- own.
