Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b and Microsoft BASIC
Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS OS/2 cannot
create "bound" applications (Family API applications). (A given bound
EXE application can run under OS/2 protected mode, OS/2 real mode,
and/or MS-DOS.) The compiler can only create EXE files that run under
either OS/2 protected mode or real mode but not both. ("Real mode"
includes both the DOS 3.x-compatibility box in OS/2, and straight
MS-DOS.)
To have the functionality of BASIC, the BASIC run-time module contains
routines that are outside OS/2's Family API (Applications Programming
Interface).
