Actually, I'd recommend Skipping GPI.  Dive or Full screen.. PolyEx who are
porting the WGT games toolkit to OS/2, Have recently decided to go
Full-screen instead of dive because of the bugs in Dive/FSDive sofar.
They're going to make a direct-mode FS toolkit and add Dive when IBM works
the bugs out.
