Did Odin ever mature?  I thought it stalled.

Win32s is a sumset of Win32, and it initially appeared in the Windows 3.x days.
 It provided a limited subset of Win32 functionality for 16 bit apps.  Win32s
isn't an OS/2 thing, it's a Microsoft thing.

ArcaOS is what I'd like to really resurrect my old BBS under, though it looks
like it's likely to come back under DOS/Qemu under Linux or Win64 first.
