David,
I appreciate your comments. Actually, I currently have a FoxDOS 2.6
application running under OS/2 and works great. Low maintenance. Most
of the problems I've run into are network related.
The problem we are faced with is that we currently have a Clipper
application that our clients are running under DOS or OS/2. To move
them up to Windows, we still need to support our new Windows version in
OS/2, if possible. Oh, the dilemma... :)
