There is obviously a lot more to know about the Status codes than I was 
aware.  I had heard it was a royal pain...

Does the client negotiate the set of codes it will use?  If it wants DOS 
codes will it only get DOS codes, etc., or is there some overlap?  How 
does a client know/control which codeset it's getting.

I know that CAP_STATUS32, but all the docs say (the docs I have) is that
it means 32-bit status codes will be returned.  How do you know which set.

(...and does anybody--Steve? You there?--know anything about the OS/2
Status codes?)

Thanks!
