Yes, I think OS/2 is dead except in specialized situations like LAN Manager 
(which AT&T ported to Unix years ago).  Unix will improve and we may find 
any serious work on "portable OS/2" gradually dying out.  Up here in the SiliconForest, where Bill Gates shadows the land like Mt. Rainier itself, we are far
too caught up in the success of Windows 3.0 to give much further thought to
OS/2.  Not that we all use it, but we like everyone to think we do ;)
