Q: What application will become the MAIN application for ArcaOS? The application which attracts new people and makes them buy ArcaOS. (example: 90-th, for Macintosh it was PageMaker, 2000-th: MSOffice for Windows) Do we have such "locomotive" application or Arca Noae is developing it?
May I haz to understand where is physically existed relationship between "the MAIN locomotive application" and "attracting new people and making them buy".

Guessing the change was made to make future development easier. For AN. Not for the rest of the world. Except David make his changes and his DDK publicly available some day.
Somebody's got a star fever, isn't it?..  :P

I think it is looking good.
"Proof of Concepts" are really good and modern. They are much better than aggressive "eye candies" in eCS 2.x.

I hope people, who WERE employees in the 90s, will come forward from wherever they are now
Some of them are connected with Arca Noae.

When I discovered a bug in Panorama we are (with Alex G who's working on OS4 kernel) contacted Lewis Rosenthal, and he asked one of ex-IBM employees about possible effects of the bug (it was annoying bug with boot time crashes in OS4 and colored snow on the screen in eCS 2.x). Then someone (who? I don't know) fixed it.

Both ArcaOS and OS4 kernels works fine. Everything fine, after all. I would like to see both kernels in one installation. But, of course, nobody will deliver them or fix old software for free.

Okay.  If I don't hear from anybody else who's able to help me, I will try to contact someone at IBM directly.
There are no employees in IBM who remember the 90s.
According to a report by Russian-speaking IBM employee from the forum sql.ru, "IBM today is a conglomerate of companies acquired in Silicon Valley and all around the globe".
So it's better to buy the latest OS version from Arca Noae and concentrate one's efforts on free software.
And, of course, they will not sell nor open anything to a random person (including you and me).

Then Intel will completely drop BIOS support on their motherboards and CPUs.

At first, it didn't work with OS/4. According to AlexT, somebody missed an initialization of a global variable, that was a pointer, so, because kernel allows device driver to access all of the memory, Panorama in eCS 2.2-beta sometimes sended data to random address.

Then AlexT sent patched version to me, and then — to Arca Noae.

A snow on the screen completely gone.

There were broken pointers in Panorama, with snow on the screen etc.
I use patched driver but want to upgrade to ArcaOS as soon as possible.

It's widely known that they will never release it as open source.

IMHO it was marketing. Twice upon a time, someone's wanted to switch users from WinXP to Win7.

I like Classical Rexx but not Object-Oriented.
The future is Functional Programming anyway.
