Try looking in os2386.lib.

Since you've found smserial.dll,  I think you're wasting your time trying
to create the 16bit sems directly from 32bit code.

Here is the all the work you need to do:  Place this in your 32bit C code
(if it is C++,  use extern "C" {}). The compiler will handle the
1632 conversion by itself:


 void pascal _far16 BbsSemSerialize(char *pszSemName, char *pszSemEnv);


(You're using watcom,  right? If IBM,  change __far16 to _Far16)

Set both parameters to NULL,  and it will use "/sem/squish/default".
