OC>Did I imagine this, or isn't POSIX support going to be part of OS/2? OC>Does anyone know what the situation is? When is it available? Is it OC>going to be part of the basic OS/2, or is it an extra option (how much?). OC>Will it be a full implementation, or just a subset? No, it is not going to be a part of OS/2. Currently, IBM lists it as a "future direction" for OS/2, but that's probably years away. We called Bob Blair (the owner of the OS2POSIX forum within IBM) and checked it out a few weeks ago and the response was pretty much that IBM considers it a low priority (although Bob feels differently, of course). If you really want the details, you can contact Bob at 512-838-2942. He's pretty much the Posix guru inside big blue. ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Deus Ex Machina | Internet: bill.dehaan@rose.com Software Consulting and Gator Pit | I'm a brain in a vat.
