The main problem is, I have to write a UNIX program for school, which has
to use the opendir(), readdir() etc functions.
If possible, I want to create this program at home. I can install EMX
completely with the compiler if I have to. But since I already have CSet++,
I want to use this compiler.
Using the EMX headers, I can compile the program, but I can't get it to
link correctly, because I don't know exactly what libraries to use.

There are also some UNIX-programs I want to recompile for OS/2. Since these
programs often use UNIX-functions, they can't be compiled with the standard
CSet++ headerd and libraries, since these don't include UNIX functions.

BTW. I have to write C programs, not C++.

Regards,
Ruud.
