An updated OS2 version may be in the works. I know I was able to compile the
v6 as I had a version of OS/2 Warp. But since I havent kept up on that, and a
majority of users are Windows or Linux, that may be the first priority at this
point in time. Wil will see as things progress as this is a complete re-write
of everything into an Object Oriented code.

Thanks
Ken
