Microsoft's OS/2 Programmer's Reference, Volume 4 exists and is available 
at some bookstores.  Its mostly an update of the material in the first
3 volumes for Version 1.2, including the API for the installable file
systems, extended file attributes, Profile Manager, Help Manager, 
Combination Box Controls, and Multiple-line Entry Fields.  There are also
some corrections, some changes, and some new data structures.  Its good
for people who want to see what V1.2 has to offer a programmer, but not a
good beginner book.
    "Programming the OS/2 Presentation Manager" by Charles Petzold is another
book on par with "Advanced OS/2 Programming".....I'd recommend the set as 
required reading for OS/2 Programming Neophytes (they helped me alot!!)/
