Sybase distributes a .LIB file that is linked in with a C appliaction to 
allow access to their data base on the network.  Apparently it is not 
possible (?) to link this file against an application developed with the IBM 
CSet/2 compiler in 32 bit mode??

Apparently the OS/2 2.0 linker can only call 16bit DLLs and cannot 
incorporate 16bit LIBs!  For our application, we must access this 16bit .LIB.

Does anyone have a suggestion how we can link to this 16bit LIB??
