Not so...Bix ( The byte information exchange) has a public domain OS/2 area
with about 80 PD programs including several commuication programs and utils,
some games and several system utilities.  More are showing up all of the 
time.  I'm sure that there a several other PD sources out their ( BBS's,
and Compuserve).  OS/2 is shaping up as a excellent development environment
and more accessable now that 1mg memory chips are in the $10-$15 dollar range
