A creature called Joey Mukherjee screamed at Art Kim:

 AK> - BC does DOS, WIN, WIN32 correct?  

 JM> The Borland C++ compiler for Windows does.  The OS/2 version
 JM> doesn't (at least not directly).  You could probably buy
 JM> both versions of the compiler and do multi-platform
 JM> development.  Watcom does it out of the box... 

   Heh, I did that for a while.  BC 3.1, and BCOS2 1.0.  Then I realised I
was taking up over 90 megs with both of those, and installed Watcom, going
down to 50 megs taken up.  And I didn't even install BC's windows
support...

 AK> What is required for OS/2 programming?

 JM> Patience! :-)  I'm just starting and am finding it pretty
 JM> challenging.  You also need an OS/2 compiler... ;-)  Borland
 JM> C++ for OS/2 or Watcom C/C++ will both work...

   And a great reference.  Find PRCP.INF, its an excellent reference on
some of the OS/2 API calls.  Then find a bunch of books... I usually use
four here.
