This code includes extensive use of STL containers and templated member functions and so forth. This code now compiles for me under WIN32, Debian Linux with Gtk, MAC OSX, and now....OS/2! I can even get a dll version to link (but I have yet to use the dll in an application). But this is encouraging. I have a lot more of my libraries to compile yet, but if it gets my smartptr stuff (templated counted pointers) and object factory code to build, it should build anything I can come with. This, finally, gets OS/2 development up to snuff with the modern world! I'm sure I will encounter some problems, but so far, this is quite encouraging!
