I love OS/2.  However, what IBM seems to have done to Mr. Cain is
appauling.  I listen to the people saying "get it in writing," but IBM
probably would have done the same thing to him.

IBM better lay off the kind of people that cause this kind of thing.
Unfortunatly, in large companies, the good people get laid off, because
the underhanded people make it look like nothing is their fault.

If the people who were dealing with him are still employed at IBM,
I would say that IBM is in serious trouble.  If they want respect
again, they had better earn it, and had better get more down to
earth, and bust their rears to support and promote OS/2.  When
developers start getting bitten like he did, then development
eventually stops.  Hopefully, IBM's top brass will get some sense,
and trim the real fat, and make every effort to turn IBM into a
company that can be trusted, and that has a great track record
for developer support  (customer support is good in my view, but
that is subject to heavy debate).  I have yet to buy C/Set 2 for
those kinds of reasons.  If I am going to buy a compiler (as opposed
to using emx), I will buy from Borland (if they ever deliver...),
since I could probably get more support from them [developer] than
I could from IBM.  So, IBM, you have lost a would be developer for
the time being, and I can not recommend using OS2 as an Applications
Platform right now to my company.  I may in the future, if things improve,
but for now, it will just be UNIX, even though some of the apps
would work great on OS/2 -- I just dont want to get bitten.
