- Hey folks lets not getover excited. Oh lets dump Borland now. Borland are
- commited to OS/2 the OS/2 version of their C++ compiler ( Beta ) was on public
- view at Object World. They have already shipped Object Vision. What the hell
- do you want blood.
-
- As far as I am aware Borland are the only major software developer to ship a
- product that was written with OS/2 2.0 in mind. The rest are still talking
- about it.
