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 has been shut down. They always kill the 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.
