Hello Nick,

 NK> have already found this, but it isn't all that obvious.

 NK> When you install BC++ for OS/2, you get an "extra" 
 NK> directory.  Inside this is bcc2.exe.  This is a 32-bit 
 NK> ONLY version of the compiler ... it will not thunk 16 
 NK> bit calls.  If you're doing only 32-bit code, this 
        What about if I'm making calls to the Vio screen routines ?

 NK> might be a better "base" compiler to use.  We've found 
 NK> it generates much better, er, "less buggy" code ;)


...Nope, haven't seen it yet... Thanks, since I mainly compile from the
command line (only 8 megs ram ) I'll be happy to give it a
try...
