Never seen this one (although I haven't looked, either). > 2) What are the OS/2 PM Toolkit and OS/2 PM Softset? PM Softset is the libraries and tools (dialog editor, icon editor, etc.) that you need to create PM applications. PM Toolkit = PM Softset + reference manuals + _Programming the OS/2 Presentation Manager_ by Charles Petzold. (Perhaps also _Advanced OS/2 Programming_ by Ray Duncan -- I haven't looked recently.) > 3) To develop applications do you need both of the above? Assuming development in C (not some OO system), not as such; Microsoft C 6.00 includes the header files and libraries for writing OS/2 apps. It doesn't include the development tools though, and those are necessary for writing PM apps. You also need reference manuals, of course. > 4) Is the OS/2 PM Toolkit == Windows 3.0 SDK??? They're completely different. uunet!microsof!gregj Greg Jones, MS network development [I just happen to work here. Sheer coincidence.]
