I downloaded the EMX and GNU C development tools (32 bit) for OS/2 and
the 32bit extender for DOS.  The DOS one seems to work fine (I don't have
2.0 yet) and the test programs seem to demonstrate the standard ANSI C
calls.  My question is: has anyone been able to use the GNU C tools to
develop WPS programs.  I've heard that a development package is available
(to students anyway ) for ~$120.  Is this true and has anyone tried to 
use this stuff with GNU.  What does the kit contain?

Thanks

As shipped EMX/GNU C does not include PM libraries.  However, if you purchase
the IBM Developer's Toolkit, you should be able to make PM programs with
GNU (I haven't tested this thoroughly, but the examples from Petzold's
book run fine if you include the IBM header files/libraries).  The code
from the current version of EMX/GNU C is a bit bloated, but what do you
expect for free?
