Hello Mario,
  Thank you for your info on SOM tools etc. You maybe right 
that CSET++ V3.0 contains only a subset of SOM toolkit V2.1.  
It has got Direct-to-SOM, so, that's pretty generous of IBM.
  By the way, I'm not a DevConn subscriber, as I'm doing OS/2
programming at my own personal interest, so it's at a shoestring
budget. But, with the forthcoming VisualAge C++ V3.0 as free
upgrade, I can hardly wait to get the best Object Oriented toolkit
on my home computer. It's amazing how much we can get with a modest
amount of money these days. Thanks to competition in tool market.
 Thank you again for the advices.
