Please do not shoot the messsage boy.

Now, so divulged, what is APL2?  Is this a variation on a PL whatever Lessor
theme of weevils?  Grin!

Since OS/2 is 'dead' and the Visual Age for C++ version 5 ain't to be made up
for anything by et UX boxes, why is there new compiler work appearing for OS2?
Or is this a chance for a sly, "I told you so!", perhaps, from a particpant or
two here?  Chuckle!

Should I en passant this creature?

Inquiring mind wants to know!
