| Isn't that a little premature? Maybe we should get a good working version for OS/2 host first... |

No, it is not premature. Your are correct in that there are two parts, guest and host. We want both and since it is open source the OS/2 community can port both. But the guest should be done first The host is a much larger and complex job. To get useful performance also means it will need to work with the low level parts of OS/2. This will take a lot of time and special expertise. |
