- I personally swear by Dror & Lafore's "OS/2 Presentation Manager Programming
- Primer" (ISBN:0-07-881467-7 Pub: McGraw Hill). It is for OS/2 1.2, but when
- complimented by the Knight book, it is very good. I didn't like the Petzold
- book, and besides, trying to find a copy of an OS/2 book published by
- Microsoft Press is said to be like trying to suck water from a stone.
-
- Check out the Dror and Lafore text.
