- Thanks for trying it. I tried the same program and it crashed 2.0
- but 1.3 survives - so it seems to be specific to my hardware. I think
- I will report it to IBM. It seems weird that a simple program crashes
- 2.0 but not DOS.

I don't know at all if this is related, but I had a hard time with
Microsoft C 5.1.  I couldn't get protected mode programs to debug in 
source mode.  The problem turned out to be that OS/2 includes a 'LINK.EXE'
in the OS2 directory (first on the path).  My problem went away when
I made sure to use the linker that came with the compiler.  You might
give that a try.
