IBM C/2 came from MS C 5.?? something or other. I beleive it is no
longer supported. You *can* use the C/2 product to build basic
applications for OS/2, but you can't build PM applications without
*either* toolkkit (MS or IBM for OS/2 V1.2). 

There *are* alternatives to MS C compilers for OS/2. Zortech makes one
and if you look in many Programming tools catalogs like "The Programmers
Shop" or the C Users Journal, you can find compilers/tools/etc for
most Operating systems...
