This is not quite the case. Oracle is continuing development for OS/2, just not Power Objects. Oracle is still developing servers and tools that are geared for the corporate environment.

The official reply to my letters to Oracle regarding the status of Power Objects follows:

_______________________reply from Oralce__________________________
I'm the PLM for OS/2. Please understand that Power Object's is not in Jerry Baker's group. We are refocusing our tools strategy for OS/2 by porting Developer/2000 to OS/2, with beta expected in June 1996. Please post this message accordingly and direct any questions to me    

Thanks and Regards,
