I ran OS/2 between 1993-1996 and wrote programs for it, so I'm familiar
with it.  They weren't Presentation Manager applications though (although
I've since become used to event-driven programming in Windows where the
same principles apply).  Most of the time I used the OS/2 version of
Borland C++, but I also had Metaware High C++ and EMX at my disposal...  I
no longer run OS/2 but I still have them all on CD somewhere.

You can download Turbo C++ 1.0 for DOS (which is two years newer but still
quite old) for free from Borland's web site at
http://community.borland.com/museum/ .  No OS/2 software there though.

Feel free to try here...

You can probably just work around that with:

FILE *stdprn;
stdprn = fopen("prn", "wb");
setbuf(stdprn, NULL);  /* unbuffered output */
