Well, make room for me on the bandwagon...

I've been developing an application for Windows 3.0
(a new numerical analysis technique) and have
had about enough of it. I bought OS2 v1.3 and like
it. Now I have 2 questions that some of you may be
able to help with.

1. I have MCS 6.0 already. Should I get the OS2 PM SDK?
Or is there a better product (like Borland C++) out
there? Should I wait for the Borland OS2 tools to
come out? 

2. I can upgrade my copies of Word for Windows and
Excel for Windows to PM for $50 each. Should I do
this? Are the PM versions as good as the Windows
versions?

When v2.0 gets here (4Q91?) will I have to get new
compilers and etc? For now, I have to try and keep
expenses to a minimum.

Thanx in advance.
