CROSS-PLATFORM NETWORKING APPLICATION
This article shows how I found a cross- platform application between OS/2 and Win 98 was the best approach to a problem I routinely encounter, and then describes the actual solution.

## Sad OS/2 News ##
Some of you may already be aware of this but as of January 31, 2001, IBM is going to
be ending its defect support on OS/2 Warp 4. In its place OS/2 users have two paths:

1. Purchase the OS/2 Convenience Pack
2. Purchase eComStation (Stardock’s recommended upgrade path for existing OS/2 users).

You can find out more about eComStation at:
http://www.indelible-blue.com/software/ecs.cfm
and
http://www.touchvoicecorp.com/eComStation.html
However, both of these products target the corporate user. That doesn’t mean end users can’t use it, it’s just that now it’s clear that OS/2’s presence in the consumer market is officially ending as regular users will not be able to purchase OS/2 anymore at a store. Moreover, supporting OS/2 software has become increasingly expensive since the number of people who are familiar with OS/2 decreases and thus training a new person to support OS/2 software is very time consuming. And since the OS/2 market is no longer expanding, we’ve reached the point where we’ve pretty much sold all the OS/2 software we’re likely going to sell barring making new versions or creating new software. As a result, effective January 31, 2001, Stardock will be discontinuing its OS/2 software. We are not eliminating our free technical support (our news groups and email) but free phone support will be phased out.
Stardock has enjoyed being part of the OS/2 community for all these years. Most of our OS/2 customers have migrated to other platforms, the majority of them are still with us now on Windows. But we feel we cannot continue to sell our OS/2 software when we aren’t able to provide the same level of support that we’re able to provide to our Windows users.
We will be continuing to sell our OS/2 software up until January 31, and those products can be found at: http://www.stardock.com/products/os2warp.html
For those of you who still use OS/2 and have no plans to migrate, we wish you the best. OS/2 is still a terrific operating system featuring great technology.
