 I hope I'm not going to ask to many questions in one go and therefore make
 sound confusing.. but here goes..


 I've had some trouble in using DDE between PM and WIN-OS/2 environments..

 If I've got 32bit PM DDE Server example program running and then invoke a 
 Word for Windows (Version 2.0a) Session under Win-OS/2 and setup a link to
 the PM DDE Application and Topic. As soon as I issue an Update of the link
 the PM DDE server gets the WM_DDE_INITIATE message issues the WinDdeRespond
 but the Word for Windows Client DDE hangs.

 I've spoken to someone and they seem to indicate that there might be a problem
 when running Windows 3.1 DDE Applications under Win-OS/2 and talking out to
 PM.. Can anyone verify this ?

 BTW The 32bit PM DDE Client example works fine..

 Next question ... untried:

  Are there any changes needed ( either Client or Server ) for a 16 Bit PM
 DDE Client talking to a 32 bit DDE Server...

  If I have a 16bit DDE server running under OS/2 2.0 will it be able to 
 accept connections from WIN-OS/2 applications ?

 Regards 
 Justyn
