A common cause of "L2029: '__aDBswpchk': unresolved external" is
linking in the real mode graphics library, GRAPHICS.LIB, with an OS/2
application. OS/2 may use the text graphics functions from Microsoft's
library, but they must be linked with the protected mode version of
the graphics library, GRTEXTP.LIB. The following example will compile
and link an OS/2 application that uses text graphics functions, using
the sample program TEXT.C from the on-line help.

   cl /Lp text.c /link grtextp.lib
