Hubley) Organization: Unicus Software Inc., Toronto, Ont. Lines: 22 At Comdex, IBM announced that their specification for a common software interface (like the Macintosh's user interface guidelines) would be made available to developers in December. Have they done this yet ? Where would I get ahold of it ? What are the best sources of interface standards information ? Does this standard apply only to OS/2 or does it go further (covering IBM's own MS-DOS programs)? Other OS/2 questions: Did OS/2 1.0 actually ship on December 4 ? Was it buggy ? Does anyone know anything, or can I be pointed to references, about the communications capabilities of the Extended OS/2 supposedly due in July ? I'll be glad to summarize and post to the net any information I receive.
