...stuff deleted...

A few months ago, I sent the above message and although no one gave me the
definitive answer, I did get a lot of good info. Several respondents asked
me to post to the list when I solved the problem.

NETAPI.DLL was the culprit. (Gee, I only have four of them). I found a
document at Microsoft's web site that told me I needed the one that was
7168 bytes. I found it, replaced the one in my \windows directory and
voila! Everything works (OS/2, Windows and DOS).

I just wish I knew where all these darned NETAPI.DLLs came from. (I wonder
what won't work now...)

Anyway, thanks to those who responded.
