- Will they also include an 'Application Frameworks' sort of thing? To
- my mind, the IDEAL thing to do would be to provide an common
- 'Application Frameworks' sort of interface that would let developers
- use the same code for DOS, Windows, and OS/2 -- what you got depending
- on a compiler flag for what kind of executable you wanted, but the
- source being the same (unless you wrote directly to one of the APIs).

- I'm not even sure how feasible this would be, since I haven't
- seriously thought about it, but boy would it be NEAT. :-)
