I want move OS/2 API to FPC team. I'm currently converting pmhelp and pmdev and send
them after to FPC/2 maintaner (Tomas) to include with next 1.0.x snapshot (I
hope, this will be fast). After this I continue my work with forms.pas. This is
because only problems with various rtl's, no advantages. I wan't maintain duplicated
things.
I prefer to separate Sibyl related parts and OS/2 related parts. Really, I want to
have SOM-based application, not monolitic. So SPCC only start point. May be Tomas
includes SPCC as package to FPC distro (in future).
So, all APIs is part of FPC source tree, SPCC & SVDE is part of OpenSibyl tree.

Yes. You are right. I'm planning to use corresponding api instead of painting
themself, but not now. Later. After IDE will be ported. Someone can say 'Why not
use/port
Lazarus Component Library?'. Answer is 'Because Lazarus portable application, so we
will be limited in usage of OS/2 features, like SOM, REXX, WPS, etc. Look at
Mozilla, VirtualPC, Odin applications. Lot of limitations.'
In short my roadmap is
1) convert required for forms.pas headers from os2 toolkit
2) contribute them to fpc team
3) port forms.pas using fpc rtl and finish TIComponent
4) fix errors of forms.pas
5) port spcc
6) port svde
<---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenSibyl
version 1.0
7) modify spcc to use native api not 'painting by hands'
8) port SOM/WPS Toolkit (available in deep alpha stage for VPC)
9) Start moving to SOM application.
