        I know it's kind of alien to write my own assembler on one DOS
        machine and use it on a pure OS/2 2.0 box, but things are going
        quite smoothly and I would probably be able to use it right after
        my copy of OS/2 arrived.

        I am aware of GNU assembler, but can't get used to its symbols.
        And there is probably some assemblers specific for OS/2 (2.0 ?),
        but are they free?

        So, how can I make system call from within an assembly program?
        I do have a ABIOS reference book. Can I call those functions as
        people done to BIOS on a PC/DOS system?

        Will I absolutely need the bunch of books from 'IBM OS/2 2.0
        Technical Library'?
