The OSF 'owns' DCE. Check out http://www.osf.org. IBM is responsible
for the OS/2 Warp implementation. The beta looks like it is
free, if you get accepted. I have applied for the beta and haven't got back any
information yet.

I'm not stopping you. Go for it. :)

Dunno. It probably isn't that easy, but I'm not sure.

Heh. Good idea. It is non-trivial source.
BTW, what do you do at Apple? I'd never figure an Apple person
to be an OS/2 programmer type. Do you do any OpenDoc stuff?
