MSC 6.0 includes libraries/header files for both PM and text mode apps
(albeit for OS/2 1.2 apps), by the way.  Unfortunately, you have to pay
extra for the documentation (via the OS/2 SDK).  I wouldn't recommend
purchasing the Microsoft SDK (for obvious reasons), but you can pick
up an IBM OS/2 1.3 SDK rather cheaply (as a matter of fact I have one to
sell).  Since you will have to purchase a 32-bit compiler in order to
create 32-bit applications, you can just stick with 1.x documentation/tools
because MSC 6.0 is not a 32-bit compiler.  These 16-bit programs will run
fine under OS/2 2.0 (and 1.x) unmodified...
