If the SMK works as well as it is supposed to ("a few days" to port
an application is the claim), I really have to ask why there is still no 
released Word for PM, a year after WFW was released. 

I realize the people from Microsoft who respond in this newsgroup don't 
get to control these decisions (and really appreciate your participation
by the way...), but Microsoft's credibility with respect to OS/2 is 
getting less day by day.
