To all using EMX for OS/2:

EMX 0.8d does not have the complete OS/2 API. In DEVELOP.DOC, it mentioned
how to add more functions, using <name> <.DLL> <func #> <# of param>.
(eg, DosClose DOSCALLS 257 3).

Problem #1: I found I only have \OS2\DOSCALLS.LIB and \OS2\DLL\DOSCALL1.DLL
Nowhere can I find DOSCALLS.DLL. Is this normal? When I did a test prgm to
do DosLoadModule to load DOSCALLS, it works. What is exactly happening?
There's no DOSCALLS.DLL as far as I can see.

Problem #2: In the first paragraph above, there's a value <func #> which
is to be the ordinal number of the function. Does this imply the position
of the function in the DLL? Which do I find this piece of information?

Overall, is someone actively adding OS/2 API into EMX?
