Reich D., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, NY, 1995.  Type: Book (9780471115861)

The title does not properly reflect the contents. The book is actually a carefully written introduction to the features and design of OS/2 Warp (for the PowerPC) that a user of the operating system would be interested in knowing; threa...

  Client/server programming with OS/2 2.1 (3rd ed.)
Orfali R., Harkey D., Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., New York, NY, 1993.  Type: Book (9780442018337)

The authors provide an interesting mixture of material: promotional, introductory, manual, and illustrative examples. The book, like others of its ilk, is large. It takes up over two inches of shelf space, has over 1,000 pages of mater...

  Inside OS/2 2.0
Minasi M., Camarda B., Little J., Semple M., New Riders Publishing, Indianapolis, IN, 1992.  Type: Book (9781562050450)

Because this monumental tome appeared in 1992, it does not reflect some of the activity in the OS/2 2.0 field since the appearance of the new system in May of that year. Likewise, it gives no indication that OS/2 2.1 is now available.<...
