Hi netters,


We are trying to a port an st80 application from MS Windows to OS/2, for a 
customer who would like to have it by yesterday. We would appreciate any 
help/references on the following:

1. Is dynamic linking supported by ParcPlace st80 running on OS2?
There is no mention of OS/2 in the CPOK manual, however the release notes 
seem to indicate that this is supported.
2. If it is supported, can someone please outline the steps?
3. If it is not supported, has someone used static linking in the OS/2 2.1
environment? The ParcPlace example is referring to libraries that are 
outdated and incompatible with OS/2 2.1 (according to the IBM support 
staff).

Application Specifics: We have two st80 applications running on OS/2 trying 
to communicate through DDE. We have this working on windows, however we are 
trying to come to grip with CPOK on OS/2, and the DDE functions on OS/2.

Many thanks in advance for any help.
