I was under the impression that ODW is not for AS/SET development, but rather 
is a
tool for BPCS v6 client development.  Iz I wrong?

OS/2 was technically very good, but poorly marketed, sort of like the MCA bus 
architecture that IBM came out with in the early-mid 80's.

But, of course, the BEST O/S EVER WRITTEN was Kernighan & Ritchie's first 
version of UNIX.  Now, there was an O/S written to support the REAL users of 
computer equipment:  PROGRAMMERS!
