SNAP video for OS/2 and eComStation acquired   Message List  
Reply Message #86181 of 86788 |
Mensys B.V. of the Netherlands has acquired the source code and rights
to create binary distributions of the SNAP product for OS/2 in an
agreement with the company Alt Richmond Inc. of Canada. The SNAP
graphics driver provides high performance support for current graphic
chipsets on eComStation.

"The SNAP acquisition fits the Mensys strategy to continue to provide
ongoing support for the OS/2 operating system", says Roderick Klein of
Mensys B.V. "We believe that in combination with the Panorama video
driver technology we will be able to create the best performing generic
video driver for eComStation to date. We are delighted that we have been
able to acquire this code and are very happy with the cooperation,
responsiveness and profesionalism of Alt Richmond."

Developers that are interested in helping with the fusion of SNAP and
Panorama are welcome to contact Mensys: ecomstation@...
