The Toolkit is really just a collection of libraries, headers, and programs
which are language independant.  You really need a copy of it.  That's why 
IBM packaged it all as the Workset/2 package, which includes the toolkit, 
CSet/2 and WorkFrame/2.  I'm sure you have it.  Just make sure your
LIB environment variable is pointed to X:\toolkt20\os2lib (wherever your
toolkit is loaded...).
