These are not 32-bit functions.  They are 16-bit functions.  While
they are supported (in os2286.lib and appropriate system .DLL files),
they aren't documented in the OS/2 2.0 toolkit/manuals, since it is a
32-bit toolkit.

I suggest you find either a book on 16-bit OS/2 programming or locate
the OS/2 1.3 toolkit.  I think it can still be gotten, but I don't
know what price it'll be selling for.

Any IBM manuals on OS/2 1.3.

I'd be surprised if this entire class of functions was omitted by
accident.
