I am trying to create a family application using the Topspeed
Modula-2 compiler for OS/2, starting with a modest HELLO.MOD
containing one line: IO.WrStr('Hello world!');
I have copied the BIND.EXE and the API.LIB from the IBM OS/2 toolkit
into my work directory, and the Topspeed BINDTSC.FIX file as well.
I compile and link the program as usual, and then bind it as follows:
    BIND HELLO API.LIB \OS2\DOSCALLS.LIB /N @BINDTSC.FIX
The bind runs ok, the program has grown in size and still runs under
OS/2, but running it from the DOS box returns the message:
    The Application Program Interface (API) entered
    will only work in IBM Operating System/2 mode
 
If I replace IO.WrStr by Vio.WrtCharStr('Hello world! ', 12, 0, 0, 0)
it runs fine from the DOS box as well. So, calling the standard OS/2
API seems ok, but a call to the Topspeed library not.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong??
