MSC 6.0 includes OS/2 1.2 libraries, but no documentation :-(  If you want
to create OS/2 apps with a 'bare minimum' system, you will need to purchase
the IBM OS/2 1.3 Toolkit and Information (which provides complete documentation
and OS/2 1.3 libraries).  Please be aware that MSC 6.0 is a 16-bit compiler,
so you won't be able to create 32-bit apps...however, the 16-bit apps run
just fine under OS/2 2.0 (plus you get backward compatibility with OS/2 1.3).
