Did you try copying the disk, then doing the instal just to see what would
happen?  getch() is, in fact, in the migration library.

Actually, I find it  just as convenient to use KbdCharIn  as getch().  They 
are both 16 bit calls, anyway.  Code fragment:
#define INCL_KBD
#include <os2.h>
{
	KBDKEYINFO kbinfo;
	KbdCharIn(&kbinfo, IO_WAIT, 0);	// use IO_NOWAIT if you don't want to wait
	if((c = kbinfo.chChar) == 0|| c == 0xe0)
	{
		extended_char= TRUE;
		c = kbinfo.chScan;
	}
	else
		extended_char = FALSE;
}
