I believe the folks at Digitalk are aware of the incompatibility and are preparing an OS/2 2.0 compliant version of Smalltalk/V-PM for release (shortly?).

iMy reason for mentioning the Smalltalk problem was not to fault
Smalltalk but rather to point out that the 1.2 emulation mode in OS/2
v 2.0 is not yet complete. No doubt other programs that work with OS/2
v 1.2 but fail when run with 2.0 will come to light if the emulation
is not improved.
