	I potentially have to port a code that currently runs on a MIPS
	RISC CPU UNIX workstation, using an X/Motif GUI, to an IBM PS/2
	running OS/2 and Presentation Manager.  The code has both C and
	Fortran in it.  I have the following questions:

		Does the OS/2 Fortran compiler support double
		precision (64 bit) floating point?

		Is the C compiler on OS/2 ANSI C ?

		Does the OS/2 loader have any quirks when it
		comes to loading objects produced from both C 
		and Fortran?

		How does the Presentation Manager widget set
		compare with the X/Motif set?

		What is the graphics library available on the
		OS/2 and how does it compare with Xlib?

		Does OS/2 allign allocated memory on
		even word boundaries?

	I currently don't have access to a PS/2 and won't in anytime
	shortly, otherwise I would be able to answer these questions
	myself.  Any other information/experience you can provide me
	would be most appreciated. You can e-mail your response
	directly to me.  	

	Thanks in advance,
	Mark
