After the very favorable response to my first message, I will be
buying OS/2 and probably using it be late June. I now have several
other questions that I can't seem to get answered.
First, will Turbo C run in the dos session (both the integrated
environment and the standalone compiler)? If not does will the
programs created by it (if the compiler is run under MSDOS) run in
the DOS box?
Second, what would be a good choice of compilers for learning
Presentation Manager? I have heard that there is a Modula-2
compiler for about $100 that will let you create PM compatible
code, is this true? And, If I get really rich, will Microsoft
C 6.0 create PM code, WITHOUT any addons?
And lastly, where are the archives sites for OS/2 sources and
binaries? I have bitnet and internet access, but prefer to use
Anonymouse FTP on the internet.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, Turbo C works fine in the Dos box; of course the programs it produces only run in the Dos box. >... >And, If I get really rich, will Microsoft >C 6.0 create PM code, WITHOUT any addons? MS C6.0 does contain all the headers etc & toold you *must have* to develop PM code. If you buy the Softset you also get some PM tools like dialog box editor and font editor, etc. The Developer's toolkit also contains printed and online documentation.

For OS/2 archives, try LISTSERV AT BLEKUL11 (OS-2 List) on Bitnet/Earn.
In the PM Softset, you'll also find lots of sample prgms w/sources...
Hope this helps,
