- You cannot, but your initial premise is flawed.
-
- There are many 16-bit OS/2 BASICs, including, would you believe,
- Microsoft's, IBM's, and a few others. There is no 32-bit BASIC for
- OS/2 (yet).
-
- There is one 32-bit Pascal for OS/2, Microway's. There are several
- 16-bit versions for OS/2, including Clarion's TopSpeed Pascal (which I
- use).
-
- Get ahold of the file tinf31.zip, available via anonymous ftp from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu -- check file /pub/os2/00Index for location. It
- lists a lot of BASIC and Pascal compilers for OS/2.
