Has anyone found the (missing) documentation for the KBD, MOU and
VIO functions in the OS/2 2.0 manuals?

Hello IBMer's: Do any of you know what became of this documentation?

It is plainly clear that OS/2 2.0 supports these functions and it
supports them for both 1.x and 2.0 applications.  Based on what I
have read, something called 'thunking' is used to convert 16:32
addresses (aka flat memory model) to 16:16 addresses (1.x
addresses) so that 2.0 applications can use existing 1.x DLL's.

So where is this really documented?  I read about it in one of
those after-market books about OS/2 2.0 you find in the
bookstores.

Again, IBMer's: what gives here?

If you have the IBM C compiler and the example programs, look at
the WORMS program.  It demostrates how a 2.0 program calls the
VIO, MOU, etc, functions.

Now for the real reason for this posting:  I notice that a number
of people are posting questions about this and no one seems to
have the definitive answer:  an IBM manual to refer to!

IBMer's:  You really didn't overlook these important functions
when creating the OS/2 2.0 manuals, did you?
