I've heard that there is a Family API whose functions can be called
by both DOS and OS/2 processes.  Specifically, I'm interested in
having a DOS and an OS/2 process communicate with each other via
named pipes.

I've found the Named Pipes online documentation, but there is no
mention of whether or not is part of the Family API and can be
used under DOS.

If it is true that the family API functions can be used under DOS,
is there a .LIB file that is used to link with?  If not, how can
a DOS app access this function?

Can a boot image DOS use family API too, or just OS/2's DOS emulation?

Where can I find documentation on this family API?  Which .INF
file or which manual?

Thanks for any help.  Please email reponses if possible, to:
