I don't know, maybe David knows.

The only problem with Open Class is it uses alot of memory.

I'm using OCL (OS/2 Class Library) by Cubus with Borland's compiler now.
It is not as complete as Open Class, but it supports all the major
compilers and comes with source code and is freeware.  And it uses much
less memory.
