The fact of the matter is that virtually
every OS/2 softer vendor that puts out a
quality product is doing VERY well.
SPG's colorworks sells well.
Most of Stardock System's stuff sells well.
Inoval's Post Road Mailer is doing very well.
There has been a huge interest in StarDiv's
StarOffice 4.0 and it hasn't left beta yet.
OS/2 only retailers are also doing well,
Indelible Blue is making a killing.
Companies that are NOT doing well in the
OS/2 Market are companies making second rate
ports of Window's or Dos versions that lack
the same functionality as the Windows
counterparts or are filled with bugs.
Lotus Smartsuite and Wordperfect bombed out
the first time around because the packages
were slow and ugly. (We'll see if Lotus can
make their second shot count)
In fact almost all the above companies
mentioned as doing well are planning more
releases. Implementing not only higher
quality, but a higher quantity of titles.
