- I am trying this again, since my last article was corrupt (thnx to Jochen
- Friedrich, who was the only one who did replie).
-
-
- I am going to learn OS/2 PM programming and I got some simple questions:
-
- They might be rather stupid, but you dont learn if you dont asks questions.
-
- 1. I have seen that a lot of people is recomending Petzold`s book on
- programming OS/2 (I have ordered it, but I don`t know if my local dealer
- can get it). What book is recomended if Petzold`s book is imposible to get.
- (What is the 2`nd best book on programming OS/2?)
-
- 2. Are there someone who got some simple OS/2 programs which shows the basic
- of how to program OS/2 (class registering, message que creating and so one).
- A program which shows simple line drawing would alsoe bee nice. If so could
- they email them to me (I got a lot of space where I could save my mail).
-
- 3. I am about to finish reading Petzold`s book about Programming Windows 3,
- and I guess there is similarities between OS/2 and Windows programming.
- There is of course differences in the API call and the fact that OS/2 is
- a much bether multitasking operating system (multi threading). I guess
- that registering of the classes, windows, dialog boxes and so on are much
- the same. Anny oppinion?
-
-
- Thanks.
-
-
- Merry christmas and a happy new year to you all.
