 g0>> Hah!  Believe it or not more people ask for an OS/2 release than
 g0>> FreeBSD! And its not even close!

 DA> ...now THAT's sad. Who's still running OS/2 in this day and age?

It seems OS/2 is still somewhat popular with BBS sysops.  OS/2 was a great
multi-tasker even for DOS apps back in the day, and I've heard of some BBS
sysops who have stuck with it for running a BBS (not necessarily running OS/2
on their main machine).

OS/2 is actually still in development, in some form.  Quite some time ago, I
heard IBM sold OS/2 to another company, who continued developing it as
"eComStation".  More recently, I heard another company now owns it and is
developing it as ArcaOS:
