Curious as to what the competition (and I use the word loosely) is up
to?  Check out the following excerpt from an article which appeared on
the cover of the Nov. 9 issue of "Electronic News".  I found it to
be quite amusing.

	1st OS/2 Lacks Key Features; <------[quite an understatement!]
	Software Developers Wary

	IBM last week pushed up delivery of OS/2 to December as
	promised, but its lack of key features such as a graphical
	interface prompted leading software developers to suggest it
	might be mid-1989 before applications taking full advantage
	of the OS/2-PS/2 system can be marketed.

	[The article continues, but merely elaborated on the above paragraph.]
