We've also used PM Excel, DDE'ing to custom hardware, 
it looks neat, but the guy doing the coding for the
server says it's difficult to debug using SPY and CVP.
He's started using the Logitech Debugger with some
positive results, it's not a panacea.

I'm using an 8514 display, and the mep editor that comes
with the SDK suits me fine; I usually have an OS2 text window 
with mep (often split), another one with QHelp, and a CVP
window (full screen text only, I'm afraid, for PM apps). People
are aware that in order to run OS2 apps inside of a text window
(so it doesn't flip to full screen) you have to "markexe" it
as WINDOWCOMPAT, right?

Have people been doing any benchmarking? My waveform animation
apps run about 1/2 speed that of Win386 versions. We've recently
been playing with os2 v1.2, it's got a command history, a PM
version of the System Editor, nicer desktop and icons, but I've 
discovered some weird behaviour running apps made with the 1.1
SDK, the only one we have so far... Anybody have the real
1.2 SDK?
