There are several ways to run VC++ under Win-OS2.  The best one
yet I just came across a few days ago. It's called BUILD-O-RAMA
and works using DDE between the WIN-OS2 session and a background
DOS make.  You just add it as another tool.  It even positions
you to the correct line in your source code on error messages.
Just simply very nicely done.  This now makes VC++ under OS/2
much nicer than running it under Win.

There are also a number of free ways to do it but there you have 
to start another process once you do your build that will fail as 
you state.  This is not a problem either but does require one more 
mouse click and the build messages go to the DOS session.
