From which I infer you wish to access the OS/2 API. There were some 16 bit tools
for os/2 1.x, which would still work. I haven't used them and can't comment.
I am presently programming for 2.0 32 mode using Microway's new 32 bit os/2 
2.0 compiler. It works, but the drawback is that you have to write the
api routine headers yourself (the C versions obviously are not usefull).
I understand that microway is working on creating a full header set (not a
trivial task !). Until someone rightfully corrects me, I beleive I am one of
the only people doing 32 bit Pascal on os/2 2.0 PM.
