The book by Ed Iacobucci, the leader of the IBM OS/2 design team,
is called "OS/2 Programmer's Guide", published by Microsoft Press.
The book contains a considerable amount of source code, mostly
assembly language, and explains considerably more than just
concepts and ideas.  There is enough code that a separate diskette
is offered as a companion to the book.

The other book, called "Inside OS/2", is by a senior OS/2 architect
at Microsoft (whose name escapes me).  According to my ever-faulty
memory, Warning #2 is accurate regarding this book.

Ok, back to C.
