Most vendors will simply have to recompile their apps for OS/2 and then you will have a "native OS/2" version instead of Win32 on top of PM. However, don't hold your breath. This is going to take a while. Porting apps from 16bit Windows to 32bit Windows is not much easier than porting from 16bit Windows to 32bit OS/2. Most Win95 apps will be pretty bad in their first releases as they will simply be 16bit to 32bit conversions - no multithreading. Ralph
