I wish to report that IBM is doing a great deal to assist me in
response to my early morning bitch.  Thanks to some unsolicited and
excellent technical advice from an IBM developer in Boca I now see a
very elegant and simple way to accomplish my goal without need for the
driver at all.  A much better solution than the one I envisioned.

I probably should have seen this method myself but OS/2 is so rich
functionally that it escaped my notice.  There is a lesson here.
Had I known of this long ago, my product would be out there now.
This was not so much a matter of asking the correct question in an
IBM or other forum but rather a matter of consultation.  Had I been
able to contact and discuss my goals with someone that had an in
depth technical awareness I would have gone down the correct path
long ago.  If such a consultation path exists within the DAP, I was
not made aware of it.  If not, I loudly suggest it.

As I was typing that I received a call from John Soyring's office
in which it was suggested to me that just such a resource is what
is missing in the DAP and that the need is being addressed.  Herein
is what I see as a fundamental difference between IBM and MS.  The
"new IBM" seems very willing to acknowledge its mistakes (once they
are made apparent to the right people) and make the requisite
adjustments.  Many Thanks.

Peace,

Bob

P.S.  I would appreciate it if whoever copied my original posting to
			other conferences would do the same with this one.  Thanks.
