To be honnest, I'm just pointing you in a direction without experiences of my
own with DIVE and graphics in OS/2.
DIVE functions are ordinary API functions. I browsed these functions
briefly and they require no PM parameters (don't shoot me if I'm wrong).
My assembly knowledge is minimal, so you have to figure out how to call
these API's. If I recall correct, Ray Duncan wrote a book about OS/2
programming using assembly.
I think your best bet is to buy Visual Age C++ because it is loaded with
online documentation. Maybe you still can get a free Devcon issue ( I did )
with the Entertainment Toolkit including fullscreen DIVE.
Create a PM window using C(++), initialize DIVE and throw in your asm code.
You'll have to ask someone else ( Mike Bilow?) how to interface between ASM and C.

Note: I'm NO OS/2 programming expert, I'll be happy to accept any flaming
for giving stupid advice.

You can find the OS/2 Games Home Page at: http://www.austin.ibm.com/os2games
I just looked and there is a option to download the multimedia inf documents.

Toedeloe,
Jorgen de Gier
