They claim very boldly in the doc for the API kit that they support only MSC 6.

with OS/2. They probably started to support CSet, but gave up on it. I seem to
have stabilized the app that I converted over from MSC 6.0 to CSet++ 2.1.  I
have modified only the headers that I am using. Unfortunately I have modified
them in a way that the "compiler" defines can't be switched in
order to allow
the headers to be used with all compilers. I did it the lazy way and just
directly modified the declarations since I only plan on using CSet from now on
with them. Since my client owns the API kit and I am just a contractor I think 

would rather have my "boss" complain to them. :) One thing I have
found out is
that one "missed" thunk can really hose up the entire system in
certain cases.
It is very difficult to find the bugs when the debugger gets hosed! It took me 

couple of weeks to find the missing thunk by adding trace output to the program
and just running it over and over and over until it crashed and gave me good
trace data. Since it took 3+ hours to run each time, the debugging process was
rather slow. I heard that with the next version of the toolkit, they may be
supporting 32-bit. (Or am I confusing this with what I heard about he Lan Serve

API kit?). There is also a nice REXX API for Notes available from IBM. It is
called InterFlox. It works really nice, but any heavy data crunching is way too
slow, hence the reason for going through the pain of using the Notes API
libraries and "C" for my app instead of REXX.
