I am curious about NewWave from HP. Can any one with experience
sharing their experience ? I am particularly interested in it
as development environment for application ?

I took a look at the videotape they are using to promote it.	The one
thing I do like about it is it makes some of Windows shortcomings more
bearable, i.e. file manager and recorder.	The problem is adding another
layer between DOS and applications.	It's difficult enough having Windows
between DOS and applications, but now you'd have Windows AND NewWave.

Also, I think to take advantages of some of the features you have to use
applications specifically written for NewWave (i.e. editing a linked chart).
The features that NewWave offers are on my wish list for the next version
of Windows.
