BSW has admitted many times that the bulk of its revenue comes from
Windows users, not OS/2 users.

Again, the _fact_ is that the bulk of BSW's revenue comes from
Windows sales, not OS/2 sales (at least that is what I have been
told).

This does not mean that OS/2 users are irrelevant. This has also been
stated before: we appreciate and continue to support the OS/2 users
as much as we can.

As I said, Peter hopes that if he can get one copy of the code
rewritten -- and that copy must obviously be the Windows copy, since
it is the one being bought most often -- he may then have
feature-compatible versions for both Windows and OS/2, just like he
does with PMView. THAT IS NOT A PROMISE, THAT IS WHAT HE HOPES.
