- I find it unlikely that Doug Benson, the product manager for Ami Pro
- for OS/2, would lie. Since I asked him if Ami Pro for OS/2 uses
- Mirrors when standing about two feet away from him, I do not think
- that he misunderstood me, either, especially when he continued on
- talking about how Ami Pro for OS/2 development had started in summer
- 1992. As far as Doug and the other Lotus people have indicated, the
- upcoming 32-bit OS/2 versions of 1-2-3, Freelance, Ami Pro, and
- cc:Mail are all native OS/2 apps and do not use Mirrors in any way.
- The new cc:Mail in particular appears to be a substantial (maybe
- total?) rewrite with tight WPS integration.
