Ah... the sweetness of success! IBM has been experiencing much success these last few months... First, with the release of OS/2 Warp and second, with the Beta of our newest operating system - OS/2 for the PowerPC.
Our ISVs have also enjoyed the sweetness of success. For instance, Dr. Randell Flint of Sundial Systems - one of the first to port an OS/2 application from Intel to the PowerPC - shares his success story on page 1. For more on this cross-platform environment and its tools, read Jay Tunkel's article on its development environment and Robert Warren's article on MetaWare's cross- and DirectToSOM C++ compilers.
