     For those interested, the October issue of BYTE has an article titled
"Through the OS/2 Porthole" by Martin Heller.  The article is in a section
"Beyond DOS: Windows and OS/2" which looks like it will be a regular feature in
the magazine.  The article talks about the various options that are available
for getting Windows 3.0 applications to run under OS/2 version 2.0.  It looks
although developers will be able to do a quick and dirty port by the use of
OS/2 code which emulates Windows functions.  The port can then be speeded up
and made less cumbersome by replacing selected portions of the code with OS/2
code.
