Oh yes--after further checking, I see that the one in the root must be
a stub, because it is very small, only 32 bytes in size. The one in
c:\os2\etc is about 480k, which must be the main one, and it is 2 yrs
newer and 100k larger than the one in the f:\ibmcpp\etc directory.

I did some rearranging of the DLL order and started getting SYS3175
hangs, but after putting all the OS/2 stuff up front in the order, as
well as in the SET SOMIR statement, everything straightened out--so now
I am going to leave it that way.

Thanks for the tutorial.
