I am trying to compile and link the examples from Red Book 1, namely
the programm (SWAPSIZE), using only gcc 2.1 and OS/2 utilities.

The source swapsize.c compiles, but I cannot get it to link correctly.
- SWAPSIZE.DEF calls for two unknown libraries : OS2386 & DDE4MBS ?
- also it calls for "STUB"  "OS2STUB.EXE" : what does this mean ?

If I omit the libraries spec., then I get an unresolved "__ltoa",
which is a called routine (can this be found somewhere else ?).
Please help a struggling programmer (without documentation) !.
Come on IBM, put the on-line manuals on Internet or let us buy them for
a reasonable price ($300)..

Thanks, Alan McAdoo
