If you want, you can actually bind a DOS EXE with a PM one, you just
make two versions of the program, one for DOS, one for OS/2, then put a
STUB statement (think that's what its called) in the DEF file of your
OS/2 program that names the DOS exe, then when the exe is run under DOS,
the DOS exe is run, and under OS/2, the OS/2 exe is run.  It can make
for big EXE's, but it is convenient.
