Hi Mike,

Almost nothing sorry.....;-) All I know is that true Family mode Apps only
used a LIMITED subset of the 16 Bit OS/2 API (IE none of the PM stuff was 
allowed) and there were also some other restrictions. I am not sure of the
details however my understanding was that you created the app as a 16 Bit
OS/2 app and then merged it with the family mode stub.

When the app was run the stub would detect which OS it was on and set a
switch such that the Family stub would "convert" the OS/2 calls
into the appropriate DOS call.

Thats about as much as I know of it sorry.

Cheers..................pk.
