I have OS/2 but don't bother with it much. I was mostly just curious why you didn't include it when the NASM group had revived it for this new version.

Exactly - the other reason I was curious about the omission.

Not unreasonable, I must admit - I would not demand that you go and pay multiple $ to be able to test a program that you give away for free. And it is responsible of you not to distribute a program that you have not tested.
