- If you have the service pack, take a look at the bottom of the read.me.
- That has the part numbers, and ordering information, for the redbooks.
- (If you don't have the service pack, but want the info, drop me a note
- off-line).

- A good book to take a look at, that includes a section on SOM/WPS
- programming, is "Client/Server programming with OS/2 2.0", by Orfali &
- Harkey. While WPS programming is obviously not the book's primary focus,
- the 50 odd pages it spends on the topic make a good introduction, IMHO.
