    From what I have heard, it is continuing development of OS/2.

    I wondered if that was true, and if so, what one could exepct in future.

    Keep well

    No.

    Odin is an attempt to implement the Win32 API in OS/2. In so doing, you can then run 32-bit native Windows programs under OS/2. IBM started it with the Open32 specification, which emulated a lot of the Windows calls under OS/2: it's since been expanded to include the current new additions, and with the more Windows-like memory architechture in FP13+ of Warp 4 (and whatever it is in Warp 3), you can even get things like Word and Excel running, with a few caveats. Of course, they've got a tough job keeping up with the sheer number of APIs Microsoft churn out, and getting them to react *exactly* the same way the MS ones do. (Gotta love undocumented API features.)

    I use it to read Windows help files under OS/2 when programming.

    Although you'll find much more info at www.netlabs.org, project ODIN is a binary enulator allowing 32 bit windows programs to run on the OS2 operating system as if they were native os/2 applications.

    The answer to that question is obviously "yes". (-:
