No, we were using OS/2 for server (AS/400) development, due to the fact that
SSA's IWS development tool required it, but the applications were written in
MS/Access and targeted for Windows boxes.  The client even upgraded all of
their desktops to top-of-the-line (at the time) Gateway PC's running Windows
for Workgroups.
