Is there a port of Mahjong to Os/2 ? Anyone thinking of porting it ?

That would be a nice little present to hob down some stockings ...

If that's the one I looked at, all it is is some silly solitare game
played with mahjong tiles. It is NOT mahjong!!

I've seen one version of mahjong for DOS, but it was years ago, and I
can't locate it anywhere now, let along mahjong for OS/2.

I know I've seen one. If I still have it, I'll try to remember to
upload it to hobbes.

A very nice Mahjongg implementation is included with IBM's C Set/2
with source code. I remember seeing a previous version of it (16-bit)
in the usual archives.

There are some ports of Mahjongg to OS/2. One of it you can find on
rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de under os2/demo/games.
