Are you talking about binary or source compatibility? If you
can write a native Windows version using only 300 API's of Win32s
out of 1200+ API's of Win32, you can run it on Win-OS/2, although
IMHO this is technically absurd. (Where can you find a C library
on Windows implemented using only Win32s API's nowaday?)
On the other hand pmwinx.dll of OS/2 exports 800 functions of the
same names and prototypes as Win32 API's. So, according to IBM,
it will give you 90+% (*) source compatibility. Although I have
never used them, I do have the headers and the link library for
the DLL. On the second thought I don't have source for any class
libraries on Windows platform.

(*) Resource handling (icons etc.) and Input Method management
API's do have some incompatibility.
