I appreciate what you are doing to make a Warpstock presentation.
OK, picture I am on Linux or Windows, and I'm running ArcaOS inside a VirtualBox session. I'm also running a web browser on the host platform. Inside that web browser, I have dozens or even hundreds of tabs open. Those tabs are running diverse web applications, such as office suites, email clients and database front ends.
From time to time, the web browser is going to call a native app. I want it to be possible to configure that native app to be an OS/2 app running in the ArcaOS session. I also want the OS/2 WPURL object to open a web page on the host in a reasonable way. These two capabilities shouldn't be difficult, but do require some specific OS/2 customization.
This should have been easy with DSOM. I'm sorry DSOM went away or we would already have these capabilities.
