OS/2 WARP (ANY version) is at SOM 2.1beta
VACPP REQUIRES (!) for WorkFrame SOM 2.1.1 (CSD 211 for SOM 2.1). 

so, if you removed the VACPP shipped SOM dll, you will not be able to use
WF anymore. (at least, you will run into more problems).

the VACPP SOM part is VERY crazy

a) they shipped the wrong syslevel files (the SOM 2.1beta ones)
b) they forgot to ship somsec.dll (for DSOM). 
c) they installed the SOM Runtime into \ibmcpp\ subdirectory, even the SOM
Runtime documentation CLEARY says that the ONE and ONLY place for the OS/2
SOM runtime is the \os2\dll. 

the VACPP group will ship a SOM CSD for VACPP in the near future. they are
just waiting for a .HH emither from Austin. (all of the .hh emithers create
unusable code - must be handreworked).

What problems do you have with the SOM dll? do you have any specific WPS
objects installed in your system? WorkFrame?
 WARPED!, Mario
