To OS/2ers

Two weeks ago many of you wrote, requesting that PowerQuest 
put an OS/2 native executable in PartitionMagic 4.0.  Your 
request was taken very seriously.  We've had two meetings 
and many phone calls about the issue. Everyone went into 
the meetings wanting to make it work.  However, after 
considering all the factors involved, we will not be able 
to do so.

Here are a few of the issues:
InstallShield, which we use, is up to version 5.1 for 
Windows, but only goes up to version 2.0 for OS/2.  That 
presents challenges and support issues for us.

We also found that solving boot mode issues, set up, build 
issues, architectural changes, driver needs, tech support, 
and issues involving BIOS upgrades for SCSI adapters would 
take more resources than we had available.

This is disappointing, I know.  We did try, but finally had 
to make a decision based on man hours and investment.

You can still use version 4.0, but with a boot diskette, or 
continue using the 3.04 version.  With its support for 
HPFS, we still feel that PartitionMagic is the best 
partitioning solution.
