:)  Now *that's* what I wanted to hear.  There's still the matter of video
routines, etc, but most of that is encapsulated and can probably be changed
easily.  Now to get an OS/2 assembler and/or to necessary header files.  So
I guess I have two more questions:

1) If I go out and buy Watcom C++ for OS/2, in order to get WASM, is WASM
similar enough to TASM that I won't have to make any major changes?  This
isn't IDEAL mode or anything.

2) You mentioned that the header files necessary to do OS/2 programming
with TASM 3.1 for DOS are available on DevCon.  How much does IBM charge
for this?  (I get the impression its almost like a subscription thing
), and is there any way a person without a CD-Rom drive can get
this?  

Thanks.. :)
