I just wanted to let everyone know what is happening with the campaign page.
It looks like we are starting to get some results.
First, progressive networks has acknowledged the demand for the realaudio
client. Now they say that there needs to be demand for the server, because
this is where they make their money. This seems reasonable to me, and I have
added the server to the page. Sign the petition if you run an os/2 based web
server and would consider purchasing the realaudio server.
Second, I believe Polysoft, Inc. has begun the groundwork for a port of their
PSIPlot graphing software.
Third, Forte sees the demand for their news reader. Once the final windows
version ships, they will definitely consider an os/2 version.
Finally, the VDOLive video player should be ported to OS/2 after the mac
version is complete.
I think this page really has the possibility of getting results. I'd like to
thank everyone who has signed the petition and sent emails to the various
companies. Also, you may want to stop by again and see what's new if you
havn't been by in a while.
For those of you who havn't been by the page, what are you waiting for!? The
URL is in my sig.
