While 6.304 fixed the major hosing that occured when trying to run one
of our DPMI apps in a DOS box, much more was fixed between then and
GA. I don't think it is worth trying to get useful work done with BC++
3.0 under the pre-GA versions of OS/2 2.0. With GA, set DPMI_DOS_API
to ENABLED for those VDM's that are to run the DPMI tools (but set to
AUTO for any VDM that will run a Windows app!), don't do anything that
will cause one of our protected mode tools to spawn another protected
mode tool (so you should use MAKER instead of MAKE to run BCC), and
you should pretty much be set.
