Could someone please point me in the direction of some reference material
on OS/2? I would like to know how the various layers of the system
interact,eg. hardware -> firmware(bios) -> OS -> applications, how
well the systems is protected etc. Anything at all would be of value.
Thanks,
- Mike

I'm not quite sure what sort of reference material is sought, but in the past two months a fair bit of 'in-depth' stuff has been written about it in various magazines. Most notably, the November issue of PC Tech Journal seems to be entirely devoted to OS/2. I've seen also articles in PC Magazine, and the December issue of Dr. Dobb's has something on it, too.

I don't know if this helps but.... Computer Language (Dec.-87) magazine has an excellent write up on OS/2 from an individual who acted as a beta site. The article gives a broad overview of how OS/2 works and OS/2's function calls. Also, I understand that the OS/2 software developers kit is out even though OS/2 itself isn't. Rich W.
