This is a little bit old but any Sysops running OS/2 BBSes
might be interested in the following information on
possible future versions of The Online Pub (TOP). Currently
TOP Version 3 (for Dos and Win32) is in development. The
following was posted on on the TOP website on March 8, 1998
---------------------------------------------
Status of TOP for OS/2
At this time, there are several problems with TOP for OS/2
(TOP/2). These problems will require a fair amount of work
on my part to fix. In addition, testing of the OS/2 version
is difficult as it requires me to plug in an extra hard
drive in order to run OS/2 for testing. It is for these reasons that I am not currently planning any further
support for TOP/2.
However, I am willing to alter these plans if public
support for TOP/2 is shown. If you have an interest in seeing TOP/2 maintained, please contact me. I will also
need OS/2 beta testers (preferably running Maximus/2). If
you might be able to help, please indicate this. Only
through public support will the OS/2 version survive.
This announcement is not intended to threaten OS/2 users. I
would gladly support the OS/2 version if it was easier for
me to do so. Unfortunately, in my view the effort required
is just not worth it unless I know people are going to be
using the version.

The Online Pub is a multi-featured chatroom door for
multi-line BBSes such as Maximus/2. More information can be
