A friend of mine has just got a new job, where he will have to deal
with OS/2 (supporting some software that runs on it) regularly.
Is there any astoundingly good book he can get, which will help?
I think he might also want something to help with the API functions
and so on as well, so I guess that's two books (never mind, his
firm will pay!).
Any suggestions anyone?
Cheers,
Andrew.

The Bible is, just as for Wind*ws, the infamous "Petzold Book". I don't have the ISBN number, but it's by Charles Petzold, and it's called either "Programming OS/2", or "Programming Presentation Manager", or something similar. I currently own his "Programming Windows" book, and it is clear, concise, and informative. I used the OS/2 one in an OS/2 course a few months back and it was just as good. It might be hard to get ahold of until OS/2 2.0 becomes popular in a few months. <smug grin> -- NOTICE: Due to the complexity of nearly all topics, the opinions expressed above are in continual process of formation and may be changed without notice.
