Hi!  As there are a number of people in this newsgroup who obviously
seriously program OS/2 PM, I thought I'd ask about how people find it as
a programming environment.  Certainly, before I started using and
programming PM, I was very put off by the adverse publicity in the
computer press.  When I finally had a crack at an OS/2 machine, I
expected something slow, complex, arcane and unreliable.  In truth, I
found that I was very impressed by the system, and especially by the
ease of writing PM programs.  Sure they're more complex than straight
command-line style programs, but what wouldn't be?

On reflection, I feel that OS/2 has been given a very raw deal by the
press, which it doesn't deserve at all.

What does anyone else think?
