I want to call 16bit API calls especially relating
to VIO and KBD.  
The manual says 
   OS/2 2.0 provides support for the following 16 bit subsystems:
     Vio
     Kbd
     Mou
     Mon(monitor functions)

I want to use these 16 bit API`s like VIoGetMode, VioWriteCharStringAt etc.,
in my 32 bit code.  
I am compiling using 32bit CSet/2 compiler.
(i) What are the include files for VIO subsytem? 
    How exactly I should do it?
(ii) Can I use link386 or just link?
(iii) I compiled using link386 giving os2286.lib and os2386.lib.
It compiled and linked fine.  But when I run it, when the program
gets to the 16 bit API call, it displays "access violation".
It gets aborted.

Can anybody throw light on how to do this stuff?

My email addr is uma@natinst.com

Thanks in advance.
uma.
