<PRE>
Many people are interested in finding out more about using or programming OS/2. In addition to the manuals written by IBM and Microsoft, there are a number of books written by others that are available through libraries, bookstores, and computer retailers. The following is but a sampling of these; just enough to get you started. It is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list, nor is it an endorsement by IBM of any of the books or authors. The new OS/2 2.0 books have the version number in the title to distinguish them. The other books (without version numbers in the title) are specific to V1.2-1.3, but some may have applicability even to V2.0 users and programmers.
Many people are interested in finding out more about using or  
programming OS/2. In addition to the manuals written by IBM and  
Microsoft, there are a number of books written by others that  
areavailable through libraries, bookstores, and computer retail
ers. The following is but a sampling of these; just enough to  
get you started. It is by no means intended to be an exhaustive  
list, nor is it an endorsement by IBM of any of the books or  
authors. The new OS/2 2.0 books have the version number in the  
title to distinguish them. The other books (without version  
numbers in the title) are specific to V1.2-1.3, but some may have  
applicability even to V2.0 users and programmers.

Latest revision as of 23:03, 8 April 2025

Many people are interested in finding out more about using or programming OS/2. In addition to the manuals written by IBM and Microsoft, there are a number of books written by others that are available through libraries, bookstores, and computer retailers. The following is but a sampling of these; just enough to get you started. It is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list, nor is it an endorsement by IBM of any of the books or authors. The new OS/2 2.0 books have the version number in the title to distinguish them. The other books (without version numbers in the title) are specific to V1.2-1.3, but some may have applicability even to V2.0 users and programmers.
