 RL> 3) EMX is capable of making 3 distinct types of .exe files, which are:

 RL> A) Unix style a.out files, converted into .exe's.  These are large and
 RL> slow, but they can run under both DOS and OS/2.
 RL> B) OS/2 style .exe files that require EMX.DLL to run.  (These are the
 RL> smallest, but they need a dll to run.)
 RL> C) Free-standing OS/2 style .exe files.  (No DLL required, they run on
 RL> their own.  This is what all the OTHER OS/2 c++ compilers produce.)

Since the whole of OS/2 is written in C, presumably it is  linked with the
C RTL. Can I share the system copy of C RTL, and if so, how? Is EMX
different from Watcom/CSet, or do the same rules apply with all?
