I've started using Borland's C++ 3.1 on stock GA OS/2 v2.0 and I've
run into major problems which may be caused by defects in DPMI.SYS.

1) Erratic Keyboard - on several ocasions keyboard input simply was
ignored until I clicked on the mouse.
2) Erratic Mouse - many mouse clicks are ignored. Often a single click
produces the effect of a quick double click.
3) linker doesn't find member function and continues to report
undefined member function even after all occurances of the name have
been changed.
4) linker prints class name in lower case even though the definition
was entirely in upper case.
5) file date & time set to Jan 1, 1980 on files produced by the
compiler.
6) linker unable to open object file produced by the compiler.

I'm getting a new version of DPMI.SYS in a few days and I ferverently
hope that installing it gets rid of these bugs which make Borland's
c++ unusable on my machine.
