: Specifically:
:   - Do the Windows apps and OS/2 apps share the same message-passing system?
:     Can I '{Send|Post}Message()' to an OS/2 app from a Windows app?

No.

:   - Are the Windows DLL's truly shared (ie. loaded just once even for multi-
:     ple clients)?  I've got colliding info on this from different sources...

???  The OS/2 ones are.

:   - Can an OS/2 app call a Windows DLL ?  How about the other way?

Mirrors interfaces the Windows API to the OS/2 dll's.

:   - I've currently set up dual boot: MS-DOS 5.0 & OS/2 1.2 .  Can I install
:     the 2.0 on top of the 1.2 without breaking my dual boot functionality?

Yes.
