Following the recent chat about WABI and Win16/Win32, here's an extract
from the latest Borland C++ newsletter:

> 5. Willows and Borland partner to deliver OWL cross-platform
>
> Willows Software, the company who standardized the Windows API for
> cross-platform development, and Borland International, announced a
> strategic technology alliance to provide Borland's ObjectWindows Library
> (OWL) as a cross-platform development solution.
>
> "OWL is an excellent object framework for Windows development, and we
> are excited to be able to provide it with truly cross-platform
> capabilities," said Steve Champion, director of business development for
> Willows Software, Inc.  "The combination of OWL's sophisticated level of
> abstraction with our cross-platform TWIN APIW will provide the easy,
> low-cost  solutions that developers are looking for to build the kind of
> applications their customers want, and deploy them on the platform that
> best meets their business needs."

(Borland == major vendor of DOS/Win compilers & development tools, if
anyone's wondering)
