Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 07

I couldn't imagine that it was still drifing
around out there. IBM didn't drop the ball on OS/2, but what happened was that
they coded it in Assembler in the first place. Their SDLC model was completely
wrong at the time. New CPU's came out and OS/2 wouldn't work on them. There
was a lot of chat at the time as to what they should have done and IBM didn't
want to go back and have the expense of recoding it in C. I would have to
beleive that these guys have taken on that investment and moved into a model
that can be compiled for other hardware platform.
