extern "C" {

APIRET16 APIENTRY16 DosCreateSem(USHORT  usNoExclusive,
                                 PHSEM16 phsemSemHandle,

                               PCSZ16 SemName);

APIRET16 APIENTRY16 DosSemClear(HSEM16 hsemSemHandle);
APIRET16 APIENTRY16 DosCloseSem(HSEM16 hsemSemHandle);
}

Using the typedefs from the previous message should get it going right...
or so I thought.

Done.  As I said, it links, but the start-up code doesn't seem to complete
before giving me a sys3175 error (at location '000000000' [more or less...
all zeros] yet...)

 DM> Any other ideas?

Would be appreciated.  VERY appreciated.  :-)  Thanks.

BTW, if it wasn't mentioned, I use version 10.6... :-)
