Subject: [OS2NetWare] - Netware IP Client for OS2

Hi Lewis

You know, I hate to say it but I wonder if a win32 port of the client, 
such as we have seen  eg:Openoffice, Adobe Acrobat would suffice. You 
know.... once I got NWadmin32 up and running using ODIN, the client was 
too old obviously but it did come up. It took a bit to pull the right 
files from the public and client but I got it to come up in eCS 1.0. I 
was just playing around to see if I could even do that.
