| subject: | Compiling a 16bit OS/2 program |
-=> /* Quoting Rinat Sadretdinow to Joey Mukherjee */ <=-
JM> I have a program that could be compiled as 16bit, but whenever I try

JM> I have the header13.zip that was sent over Fernwood, but I still don't

RS> To force WLINK to link your 16bit applications you need to move

Hmm... I never tried the solution mentioned by "RS". Sounds
like it would work. Never thought of it:-). However, you
could also try to get the OS/2 v2.1 DOSCALLS.LIB off of
your original 2.1 disks. Or, just Freq it from me (grin).
DOSCALLS.ZIP 15K Allows Watcom 10.0a to produce 16-bit OS/2
executables when running under OS/2 Warp
3.0. DOSCALLS.LIB was provided in the OS/2
2.1GA release but not in the OS/2 Warp 3.0
release. It is required by Watcom 10.0a to
produce OS/2 16-bit code.
