Hello Bob!

This I will need help in locating.

Hmm, I seem to remember that the os/2 versions of CVS is somewhat old. Under 
Linux I'm running 1.11.2 (Client/Server).

I'll try the Watcom method as my 11.0c is a update from original v11.0, a & 
b.

In theory I should be able to compile Win and Dos providing all code to 
support swapping, DPMI etc is included.

Yes, should be able to. As the OS/2 sub-system is on the same box as this 
Linux implementation I will keep the dual boot system until I can build a 
independent box just for OS/2/Win/Dos dev. The only question is what platform 
to use for building.
