MB> DAPIE is a user-defined dictionary that is useful only in

 jl> Err, are DAX and DAPIE two separate products? I

No. DAX was the nickname that IBM is not allowed to use.  DAPIE is the
official acronym.

Although there is a DAPIE dictionary for SMART,  DAPIE actually has nothing
to do with SMART.  SMART is not required (and is really just a
distraction).

To sum up:   DAPIE == OS/2 native Win32 API.


 jl> API for OS/2 and later changed to DAPIE. Okay, I 
 jl> rephrase my question: will the DAX DLL's be on the 
 jl> next DevCon or is it available only on separate CD?

The people writing the code assume it will be on devcon 9,  then included
in the shrink-wrap version of OS/2.
