OK, I found the 2 files and read them.

On a slightly different subject, I'm confused about the use of a batch file to set the LIB
and INCLUDE environmental variables, versus doing it in the CONFIG.SYS file. My
confusion is that the CONFIG.SYS file already contains several setting inputs to both the
LIB and the INCLUDE variables. For example, in my CONFIG.SYS I have:

SET
LIB=E:\JAVA142\LIB;C:\Development\OS2TK45\som\lib;C:\Development\OS2TK45\lib;
C:\Development\OS2TK45\samples\mm\lib;C:\Development\OS2TK45\speech\lib;

So I already reference both the JAVA and the OS/2 toolkit libraries. I'm told (or, I believe
that I understand) that, if I use more than one compiler on my system, I should use a
batch file, and not the CONFIG.SYS, to set these variables. Is that right?
