I know this is not the answer you want to hear, but what you propose to
do should simply not be done.  A programmer should never change the OS/2
system files in such a way.  You are forced to re-install and
re-implement your changes with each new CSD and release of OS/2.  You
are forced to recompile your DLL each time PMSHAPI is changed, adding,
changing, or removing functions.  If you are writing this program for
anyone besides yourself, you are introducing non-standard behavior and
possibly making the system unstable.

Also, doing this kind of thing is very bad for business.  Suppose
someone wanting to hire you for a project was reading this group or was
talking to someone who read your message.  Would they hire someone who
encouraged nonstandard behavior?

Have a nice day.  ;-)
