I think IBM is encouraging the term "DAX" to describe the Developer API
Extensions, not "DAPIE".  FWIW...

>Using DAPIE would make it easier to keep the sources for the OS/2 and

Very true.

>And I'd buy an OS/2 license, though not a Win32 license.

You're not the only one.  I can't run a Win32 version here, and frankly
don't care if one EVER exists.  But a native OS/2 version would be very
useful to me.

Not that the DOS version is *bad* in a VDM.  :-)
