/    What C compiler does everyone use for OS/2?
We here at Zortech use Zortech C/C++ for OS/2 :-)

/Are there make utilities for OS/2?
One comes with ZTC/C++.

/How hard is it to port Unix apps to OS/2 ?
It depends on how much of the code depends on unix-specific features
(like sockets). Also, watch out for assumptions about pointer and int sizes.

/I have a raytracer that I would like to port to OS/2

/primarily under unix.
Zortech's FG graphics package works under OS/2 without the need to rewrite
your program into a PM app.
