| subject: | Re: OS/2 API |
AC>Hold on a sec... Do you mean the API itself, as in the interface to OS/2's AC>library functions, or the documentation to the API? If you mean the API AC>itself, then it is freely available in that every OS/2 compiler comes with AC>a version of it, and it's usless to anyone without an OS/2 compiler. For a AC>truly freeware implimentation of the API, look at EMX or GCC/2 (both are AC>on Hobbes). Thanks Andrew, that's the information I was looking for. Right now, I am using a modified pascal compiler that only includes the 1.3 API, which has left me very much in the dark, as many of the features that I have needed are specific to the 2.0 API and above. Somehow I have managed to pull through and piece together everything that I've needed! I suppose it's finally time for me to go out and buy IBM's C Set/2! :) AC>If you mean the documentation to the API... This is something I'd like to AC>see, a good, freely distributable set of docs. The only thing I've located is a reference guide to the 16-bit API in INF format. It only includes DOS, Mouse, and VIO calls, and is somewhat outdated. Is there any good source in particular for OS/2 Development tools? A company that specializes in them or perhaps a magazine for developers? Thanks Scott ...
