subject: WARP API and EXE format

I have 4 really strange requests for everyone..  The first two are directly
related to OS/2...

1) The format of a WARP .EXE file.
2) A complete, or almost complete, list of WARP API calls, both PM and
non-PM. 3) The format of a Windows .EXE.
4) A complete, or almost complete, list of Windows API calls.

I've had this strange idea for awhile now, and maybe someone call tell me
right now its crazy and will never work. :)  I was thinking that it would
be relatively easy to write a device driver that would emulate the Windows
API calls.  So it would have the ability to load and execute a Windows .EXE
file, and it would then watch for Windows API calls and
"re-route" them to OS/2 equivalents.  Essentially, this would
make any Windows program look and act like a native OS/2 app, with very
little memory usage.  Am I crazy, or might this be possible? :)  If it
would work, the same thing could be done to allow simple emulation of Win
95 apps..  

Thanks...
