Cubus OS/2 Class Library

Cubus is an open source C++ Class Library for OS/2 that encapsulates PM and VIO APIs, it also includes classes for strings, semaphores, threads, multimedia, TCP/IP, OS2MEMU, the undocumented DosQProcStatus and DosQuerySysState APIs, and much much more.

The full source to the library is shipped, as well as sample programs and binaries. However, some of the samples were not updated in the latest release (v1.50) and will not compile without minor modifications to include the proper header (*.hpp) files, see: Cubus C++ OCL v1.50 Samples Hack.

• IBM C Set++ for OS/2 2.1
• IBM VisualAge C++ 3.0
• Borland C++ 2.0
• Watcom C++ 10.x
