Does this mean then that you will not be able to make royalty-free applications in STV/Win (or whatever they call it)? Right now you can't even make PD software in a non-OS/2 version of ST/V, and who really cares about OS/2? I should like to see Digitalk produce versions of ST/V for native DOS and Windows (3.0, I guess) that produce the same 'look and feel' from the same source code. And, I should be able to produce a royalty free application. Until this happens, I can't see using ST/V for anything other than prototyping and recreational programming.
