- Well, I don't know about availability in stores. To be honest, I
- haven't seen it, either. Last year, when Lotus had their "Windows
- World Tour" series of advertising seminars, I asked about OS/2
- releases. The salesperson said that all Lotus apps had been ported to
- the OS/2 (1.3) platform. To date, I've seen 1-2-3/G, Freelnace
- Graphics, and cc:Mail. I haven't seen Ami Pro, but I haven't looked
- for it, either.

- If you call Lotus, be sure to tell them that you don't care about the
- current release. I believe the newest version (3.0?) has just been
- released for Windows, and they may not know when it will be out for
- other platforms.
