  12. I just got the "Learning to Program OS/2 2.0 PM by Example" book by
  13. Knight, and I'm questioning its worth. It seems to be pretty thin, and
  14. merely to touch on a bunch of PM topics.
  15.  
  16. Would the Petzold book be a better place to start learning PM
  17. programming? This book is much larger, and seems to cover stuff in
  18. much more detail. Its only drawback is that it is written for V1.1.
  19.  
  20. Since it is written for the old 16-bit API, is it still applicable to
  21. the current OS incarnation? And is Petzold comptemplating writing a
  22. new version of this book?
  23.  
  24. Thanks in advance,
  25.
