-*----
I am potentially interested in developing a Windows app, in C++,
using OS/2 as a development platform.  (This desire is not so
strange as it sounds.  Windows seems to be the execution
environment that will be most broadly available: on top of DOS,
under OS/2, under NT, etc.  But I would just as soon not have to
deal with DOS myself.)

Toward this end, I have two questions:

   (1)  Does Turbo C++ for Windows run under OS/2?  In
        particular, does the debugger work?

   (2)  Is there any way (current or future) to wrap a
        Presentation Manager app for Windows execution
        (a la Microsoft's Win32s scheme for NT).

All advice is welcome.  Thanks.

Russell
