Do you think you could post the *full* version?  It would come in *very* handy.
:-)  (Or, if you put it up on the web, ftp, etc.)  For a few reasons:

A) I'd learn more about OS/2's internals.  :-)  (And, more importantly, how
to use them)

B) I'd be able to learn more of the proper 'mindset' for OS/2.  It may help
deprogram me - I'm writing for WinNT at work.  ;-)

C) It would help me debug any other API functions I misuse.  :-)

Thanks,

Darin McBride
