Well, they did modify it a bit.  However, the biggest gotcha is that
IBM C/2 requires that you buy the IBM Programming Tools and
Information kit in order to program for OS/2.  I don't remember the
cost of this but it isn't cheap.  C/2 does not come with the OS/2
includes like MSC6.0 does.  That is in the toolkit.  (Plus other
things like the Dialog Manager)
