No, it is not. FamApps are limited to 16 bit and a certain subset of the
OS/2 api under Dos. Family Apps are in fact OS/2 16 bit programs and the
"dos stub" contains an OS/2 emulator (the documentation tells
which functions are emulated, mostly those that have 1:1 counterparts in
the msdos api).

emx has its own execution environment: the emx dos extender (in case of
Windows/DPMI it is rsx, in case of WinNT it is rsxnt) which offers
something like a unix runtime environment to the program.


Tschau...Thomas
