Quick startup of Mozilla

Future of PMView - OS/2 version will be continued!

2002-03-29 22:23:11 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [VOICENWS, Peter Nielsen]

That's true. Development of PMView for OS/2 will continue along with the development of the Windows version and other versions. I was recently able to move OS/2 development over to WSeB thanks to ip8605 that finally fixed those nasty NETWKSTA.200 traps that prevented me from using WSeB until now. I've been using Warp Adv Server SMP with the old Warp 3.0 interface until now. What a change! ;-)

It's pretty clear that a future version of PMView will use wxWindows. The OS/2 version of wxWindows seems to have come a long way. Additionally, wxWindows will give me the opportunity to create Linux and Mac versions.

As it looks now, the next version of PMView will be v2.40 and the major new feature will be EXIF support.
