- Can someone who has purchased any of these books (list follows post)
- tell me how useful they are? If you get a chance, it would be nice to
- have maybe a copy of the table of contents, or main headings for each
- book. I am trying to decide which books I should buy. The references
- are all provided online, so I don't really want to have to pay for
- those, not with OS/2 on my machine, which makes it easy to switch back
- and forth.
-
- If the reply is going to be of interest to everyone, please post,
- otherwise send to my e-mail address: robert.turner@synapse.isis.org
-
- Thanks for any info made available,
- Robert Turner
