Latest revision as of 05:37, 13 May 2023

The Microsoft Operating System/2 Programmer's Toolkit contains a set of programming tools for writing real-mode, protected-mode, or dual-mode OS/2 applications.

This toolkit can be used in conjunction with a compiler or the Microsoft Macro Assembler, a debugger, and a text editor.

Supported compilers

Or compilers from other vendors.

Programs

bind: Converts protected-mode programs into dual-mode programs.
exehdr: Displays the contents of an OS/2 executable file header.
implib: Creates an import library.
kbdp: Sets the type rate of keyboard.
lib: Creates, combines, and maintains run-time libraries.
libwhere: Searches for and displays the location of a library.
link: Links one or more object files with libraries and module definition files.
mkmsgf: Creates a message file for use with message functions.
msgbind: Binds a message segment to a program.
QuickHelp: Displays help information about functions and topics.
shd: Displays the contents of a file in hexadecimal or other notation.
where: Searches for and displays the location of a file.
