It's a VDD (Virtual Device Driver). OS/2 doesn't support these. I've used the
Borland compiler (C++ version 4.01, and also Delphi version 1.0) here because
it will do just about everything under Win-OS2. (debugging doesn't work, and
from the dos command line 32 bit tools don't work). It does behave funny
compiling 32 bit applications, with frequent crashes.

Last summer I basically "gave up" trying to develop Windows
applications under
OS/2 and installed a Windows NT partition. If you can find a copy of 3.51, it
will co-exist in an HPFS environment and allow Visual C++, any version, as
well as other 32 bit compilers to work with full functionality.
