- You imagined it. IBM has made no statement concerning POSIX in OS/2.
- Microsoft, on the other hand, has pledged compliance to the POSIX spec
- for their NT project (I think it's number 1002.1, but I may have the
- number wrong).

- You may have gotten confused during the discussion of gcc. The GNU
- compiler, gcc, contains a library of unix-like functions to make
- porting code easier. This is nothing more than a library, though, and
- has nothing to do with OS/2 proper.
