The OS/2 version of Vermont Views is source-code compatible with Vermont Views for PCDOS, UNIX, POSIX, and VMS. It allows you to port Vermont Views applications from those environments to OS/2 v2.0 and create new applications in the OS/2 environment. These applications can run as full screen or text windowed applications under the Presentation Manager. Vermont Views is a text only system. Vermont Views functions use the API services Vio, Kbd and Dos; Vermont Views functions do not use the Win, Mou and Gpi calls.
The following describes some differences of note between the OS/2 version of Vermont Views and the versions for other operating systems.
