Fellow netters,

Can anybody shed some light on the following problem?
I tried once before but got no answer. Perhaps it never made it's
way to usenet...

What do I have to do to get a pair of MS Windows (3.0/3.1) programs running
on OS/2 1.x or 2.x presentation manager?

To be more specific, I have a set of programs that use a server that
runs on a Unix machine. The IPC I use is LanManager named pipes from
windows to lan mananger on unix. On the PC I have two programs,
one keeps the connection with the server and accepts requests via
DDE. The other implements a UI and gets results via DDE from the other
windows program.

Now I must find out what I have to do let these run on OS/2 machines
I do not know if I am going to use OS/2 1.x or 2.x.

- Are there tools to help me?
- Do I have to port or should it run as is with an extra set of dll's?
- What about the Named Pipe connection?
- Is the DDE mechanism the same (where are the differences)?

I looked in the faq's but they didn't help me,
any information is welcome.

	Thanks in Advance, Andre van Dalen
