Hi Randy...

Something I've wanted awhile is an OS/2 native bibliography-reference
program, i.e something along the lines of Endnote for Windows.  Endnote of
course won't run under win/os2 (needs win32s 1.30).  There are a couple of
windows shareware programs out there that do run under win-os/2, but
-nothing- for os/2.  This is an untapped market.  I've seen several lots of
posts asking if such a program exists for os/2 over the years, so the
potential for $$ is there methinks.  One shareware author I've talked to
said he wouldn't port his program to os/2, because he is convinces that NT
4.0 will kill OS/2 and that the porting tools would be too expensive
anyway.

Just my $0.01.  

Brian
