- There's a great deal of inportant information in a couple of the "red
- books": "OS/2 2.0 Technical Library, Virtual Device Driver Reference"
- and "OS/2 Version 2.0, Volume 2: DOS and Windows Environment".

- You can buy the red books direct from IBM, or you can order a copy of
- the Professional Developers Kit (PDK) CD-ROM, which contains these
- documents as well as a *wealth* of other information. ( Best excuse
- for a CD-ROM drive I know! :)
