Actually, it was mostly IBM doing the work on OpenDoc. I still have an
OS/2 Warp 4 box sitting on my shelf which had a fully working version of
OpenDoc on it, with quite a lot of interesting servlets to play with. Of
course, Warp's OO desktop interface already looked and behaved quite a lot
like OpenDoc, so for us Warpies the migration curve was rather flat.
The plug on OpenDoc was basically pulled when IBM halted developmetn on
OS/2.
But boy! was it nice...
