Developer Helper Object Set for OS/2

   The Developer Helper Object Set (DHO) is a class library for developing 
32 Bit OS/2 Presentation Manager applications.  This release is an initial 
Alpha API release, and by no means is complete.  The features which are
found in this initial release are:

	1). Various Window Classes, including Modal and Non-Modal
   	 dialog boxes, a Main Window class, and other basic
       window classes.   At this time, scrolling support
       is not built into the window classes.
       
   2). A process and a base application object. 
   
   3). Various abstract data type classes, such as
   	 a stack class, a queue class, and various
       random access list classes.
       
   4). Support for some CUA '91 classes, with a base
   	 control class for allowing expansion of the 
       supported CUA controls.
