Does someone have or know where I can download the code?
Thanks!

A better answer, than re-typing examples in by hand, but not as good as a debugged sample disk, will be for me to cut and paste some of the examples from the full text edition, re-edit and debug.

Dan,

I've got a few chapters of code saved up on my machine here...they are all circa 1999, so either because I was actually going through that stuff myself (which at some point in time I actually did, so a quick QC pass through the source should be done first LOL), or perhaps I actually downloaded them from somewhere.

If you want to just grab these I can literally ZIP the directory structure and post on my web server?

Hello

I also have interest on a transcript of the samples to put them on the OS2World Github. I have several samples there and if it's possible to include the samples from this book I will appreciate it.

Dan, if you are playing the OS/2 programming and you want to share any sample on Github, I will be happy to also include those. (no pressure)

Regards
