Couldn't resist the bargain. G'Day Murray, Since I have also posted my diagnosis in the OS2DF2 forum of Compuserve, I hope "the appropriate developer" can find the problem fairly quickly. It took me no more than 20-30 minutes, and I had never looked inside the header file before; in fact, most of the time was spent deciding where to look. Once I did look it was obvious (at least to me). Nice book! Does it have images of Hollerith cards and everything? Be aware that much of the grammar supported by PL/I for OS/2 was only a pipe-dream to us PL/I-ers in 1975. However, the book might give you some ideas for command-line programs. I suggest you install the PL/I language and library .INF files from the Dev Conn CD, particularly for descriptions of subroutine linkage. Stuff like LINKAGE(SYSTEM) and LINKAGE(OPTLINK) were not around in 1975; the only OPTIONS() stuff for other languages was FORTRAN, COBOL and ASSEMBLER. I have the PL/I .INF files' directory in my BOOKSHELF environment variable so that I can use KWIKINF to look up fancy bits while I am editting source code. It's very handy.
