-
- Petzold has a book on OS/2, although it was written using OS/2 version
- 1.1, so it doesn't cover things like ATM, and the other nicities of
- V2.0, but it still does have a section on using DosCreateThread to
- multitask things (I've yet to read it)
-
- I've foind the book a great start to get into programming PM, and OS/2,
- and have had almost no problems (at least ones that were not solvable by
- all you wonderful netlanders) using the native port of gcc. The name of
- the book is "Programming the OS/2 Presentation Manager" and is put out
- by, guess who, Microsoft Press. Hope this helps...
