I never heard anything like that ... at any rate, a company called Serenity Systems, International has taken over building new OS/2 versions, so only the older ones would be released free. IBM did recently give away some copies of Warp 4, though, so I know they aren't planning to make any profit from it. Odin is a Windows 9x compatibility program for OS/2, which I can't tell you about.

This bs lie always shows up. OS/2 is still
alive and well. Why would it be abandoned if
IBM still supports it?

Well, looks like www.abandonkeep.com

good ones.

Odin converts win95 exe's & dll's into an

os/2 format. It is a work in progress with

further development each week. There is a

list of apps that already function. Can't

quite remember the URL, will have to dig

for it.
