- IBM document no. GBOF-2254 for a set of four OS/2 2.0 redbooks. They
- contain detailed "power user"/system administrator documentation on
- OS/2 2.0. The books cover, blow by blow, the various subsystems in
- OS/2, provide background on capabilities and design, and, at various
- points, include some sample tricks and techniques (e.g. sample REXX
- code, CONFIG.SYS settings, etc).
-
- Cost is approximately $20 for the set.
