What you installed is what one of your customers would have to install to
run any Open32 (ie: dax) programs you create.

The headers (os2w*.h) and library (pmwinx.lib) are in the IBM programmer's
toolkit, which comes with recent copies of the devcon cds. It was also on
the Merlin beta cd.

The only supported compiler is IBM Cset/VAC++.  I have had success with
Watcom though.  I would not be surprised if Borland did not work.
