Does anyone know what Borland products, if any, support OS2? How about MicroSoft, or other major software companies? Any replies will be appreciated Shannon Tremblay 870086t@aucs.acadiau.ca

Sidekick for Presentation Manager was bundled with IBM OS/2 version 1.1. As far as I know, the latest release is version 2.0. Microsoft has several OS/2 products, including their various language compilers, Excel, and Word. Lotus has 1-2-3/G out. Hilgraeve has HyperACCESS/5 and Cawthon has ChipChat, both communications programs. PageMaker, BRIEF, CASE:PM, Multiscope, WordPerfect, Corel Draw!, DeScribe, Wingz, Sytos Plus.... What do you consider to be a "major" software company? Lots of shareware stuff out there as well.

Microsoft has (at least) PM Word, Excel, several compilers...gee, that's about it too. Lotus has 123/G, Aldus supports Pagemaker and Micrografix has a port of their illustration software. There's a lot of other software as well but the above is some of the more mainstream applications. Are you looking for something specific? If you need a list of companies with OS/2 products you should be able to get this list from your local IBM rep.

If you're referring to the language products, I don't know; I do remember a time, however, when Philippe Kahn emphatically denied that they were going to write a C compiler, and now they have C and C++.
