I tried a couple of years ago to do the same thing with Borland C++ when
it first came out (I think it was "v3.00").  As I recall, I was not the only
person trying it.  Some people had limited success and I had none.  

I realized that there was no reason why I *had* to run the application 
under DOS or Windows (but I *had* to use a PC) so I tried it under Linux and
it could not have worked less flawlessly.  It was just as well, since, in
the end, my application consumed 24 megabytes of swapspace (it was a very
simple program:  I used the MAXIMUM_BIPARTITE_MATCH module to process 
a very large amount of data)... I wonder how well DOS/Windows would haved
handled it . . . 

I don't recall having any trouble compiling/running any of the demo programs
...even the graphical stuff worked very nicely under the X windows that
came with the Linux installation.

I'm a little surprised that there are no responses posted in reply now that
a couple of weeks have elapsed.  I guess that means that it's not possible.
I've never tried it under os2, but I think I will with emx-gcc (which is why
I'm poking around this news group).

Good Luck.
