What to port to OS/2?
The topic of porting (import) was discussed since 2008, 2010.
1) It's clear that OS/2 receives new software thanks to porting of linux software.
2) YES, we need libraries (dlls), VIO (text mode) applications = engines, code with complex algorithms inside.
3) NO, it's necessary prohibit porting of large ready-for-use apps which
This medium size and large apps are debugged, powerful and easily
kill our OS/2 native, shareware apps (= kill OS/2 developers).

Zero reactionMany developers of OS/2 applications were working several monthes on a project, but get 0 feedback, 0 reaction. 1) The age of OS/2 users is high, they are watching but don't spend efforts to "send likes" to every project. 2) In current situation, it's necessary create products for 100% of the users, don't make special products.

[Hardware]
You can't stop time flow..When UEFI and other barriers appeared, we said: it's not important what is changing in the computers. You can always install OS/2 to Used Core 2 Duo PC.
Time goes and we see that OS/2 must support new models of computers
because old generations are not available. don't fit the requirements.
