Q66345: BSEDOS.H in C 6.00 Has Incorrect Prototypes

The prototypes for DosPeekQueue() and DosFileLocks() in the BSEDOS.H
file are incorrect.

The fourth parameter for DosPeekQueue() is defined in the header file
as being of type PULONG, as shown in the following:

   PULONG ppBuf

For OS/2 versions 1.x, the fourth parameter should be as follows:

   PVOID FAR *ppBuf

The prototype is correct as it is for OS/2 version 2.00.

For OS/2 versions 1.x, the second and third parameters for
DosFileLocks() are defined as being of type PLONG, and should be of
type PFILELOCK.

This function does not exist in OS/2 version 2.00.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in C versions 6.00 and
6.00a. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
