Sorry to say it Bob you are 100% wrong.

Where do you think that VisualAge for RPG came from?

The SAA OS/2 port became the foundation for the OS/2 VARPG, which became
the
foundation for the Windows version.  Which is still out there providing
the
"daylight" for quite a few commercial applications.

Also just to correct another misconception in this thread - OS/2
continued
to be supported _long_ after IBM stopped marketing it as a desktop
competitor to Windows.  If I recall it was the driving software for many
of
the early ATMs long after. There's still quite a lot of it about.
