As I see it, the Borland OWL interface was a very useful set of abstractions
not just for Mickeysoft's Windoze products, but for GUI applications in general.
One day, someone will learn - if we rely on third paty vendors, any advantage
the abstractions may have given developers in terms of cross platform 
development is gone.

I almost started writing a port of OWL form OS/2 last night. Could somebody
comment on the "proprietry" of providing a look-alike interface  (pref. Borland)
Is anyone interested in becoming part of such a project ? If so, send any
reasons you feel you would be qualified to be on the team.
