Consider the following:

1. Most of the family API calls also exist in the C runtime library
2. The Watcom compiler can produce native DOS and OS/2 executables

So, if you:

1. Don't really need any of the extra features that the family API's offer
   but the C runtime doesn't, and
2. You really don't need to have one executable for both environments

You can create a native DOS executable and a native OS/2 executable that
also happens to be 32-bit.

IMHO, bound executables are very much out of fashion.
