XFree86/OS2 Available Ported Software - Libraries
Last updated 24 Dec 1998
These HTML pages can be downloaded from SET.GMD.DE (/pub/misc/XFree86OS2/html) by FTP.
Programming utils and libs
When these become available, please use them. Don't reinvent the wheel.
I want to avoid that we end up with 10 different DLLs of the same name.
When you make a DLL, you are also responsible that it contains all entry
points. If some entries are missing, which might turn out later, add them in
a way that the library remains downward compatible.

Note: The latest lib is named Xm_20.dll which is NOT binary compatible

old Xm.dll lib which should also be available from here)
