Hi, If you feel a bit adventurous, you might have a look at ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.3.3 (soon to be mirrored in the "usual" location as indicated on wxWindows.org) and try to compile the contents of wxOS2-2.3.3.zip (zip-File should contain an OS/2 aware configure script, but you still have to run it yourself) and if you have XFree86 or Hob X 11 or some other X server at hand, wxGTK-2.3.3.tar.gz (requiring GTK+ libraries), wxMotif-2.3.3.tar.gz (requiring Lesstif), or wxX11-2.3.3.tar.gz (requiring only XFree86's X11 libraries) should be compilable and usable as well (provided you're using the modified configure scripts from wxOS2-2.3.3.zip or run autoconf yourself) and give a good indication about what is missing in wxOS2. For more details see the nice install-* and readme-* files in that same directory. Especially note that documentation of the toolkit is a separate download and that there are some environment variables that should be set prior to starting the compile to simplify your life. Note that wxOS2 is an alpha version, so don't expect the full feature set or production system stability yet (in fact, when there is a bug, it rather frequently manages to lock up the message system and thereby the whole WPS, but currently that doesn't seem to happen ...). Regards, Stefan -- Micro$oft is not an answer. It is a question. The answer is 'no'.
