Please allow one question which has been running through my mind for some time 
now when following the discussion about the common code base. Apparently, 
PMView/2 is still under development (?) and is as application born on the OS/2 
platform being ported to Billy-OS afterwards. Is it right that with v2 Peter 
introduced a portable code which is easy to maintain for both worlds?
PMMail also has an OS/2 cradle and was ported very mch later. If the code is 
now being rewritten anyway, why can't it be made portable in the same manner as 
PMView is? And from my point of view, it's much more difficult to write an 
OS-independent code for an application like PMView (which makes heavy use of 
system-specific calls and graphic libraries) that it is for a standard 
application like an email client (which mostly implements standard protocols). 
So I have some difficulties in understanding the real problem ...

Regards
