Wasn't finished. I had enormous problems with OS/2 up to Warp Connect
FP20, and that would have been about the time the PPC port was set

Likely had it proceeded, OS/2 would have continued and I'd be using OS/2
today;-) Remember IBM and Apple had joint development efforts back then
on things such as OpenDoc and SOM.
