this is interesting. yesterday i saw a message in the german OS/2 prog fido area:

To:     Michael Hohner
Subj:   Prf* without PM
OS2.PROG.GER

[ *F:\Work\tt\test.c* ]

#define INCL_WINSHELLDATA
#include 

int main () {
  char Buffer[100];

  PrfQueryProfileString (HINI_USERPROFILE, "PM_INSTALL", "MEDIA",
             "war wohl nix", Buffer, sizeof(Buffer));
  Buffer[sizeof(Buffer) - 1] = '\0';
  printf (Buffer);

  return (0);
}

[ *F:\Work\tt\test.c* ]

results:

  PM initialized
    AVIO-Window  -> "REMOVABLE"
    VIO-Window   -> "REMOVABLE"

  Boot     Commandline, \OS2\DLL in LIBPATH
    -> Prozess hang

  Boot from Disk, \OS2\DLL not in LIBPATH
    -> SYS1804: The system cannot find the file PMSHAPI
  then SETBEGINLIBPATH=\OS2\DLL

 WARPED!, Mario
