	Here at IBM Austin, we just got camera-ready printouts of the OS/2
programmer's reference library (this is broken into a C/2 -- MASM PM bindings
reference, a programmer's guide, a programmer's reference, and a few other
odds ends and things I haven't looked at yet.)  The version we have is about
1.5 trees (douglas fir, 60 years old) worth of data, though the published
version should be more compact.  At a glance, these are very well written
and detailed documents, and are a 150% improvement over the four-volume
Microsoft Press release (which I have kept on my desk for some months as an
indication of how highly I think of those)  I know nothing about what the
avalibility or release date of these documents will be.

	There have also been rumors floating around about an OS/2 book by some
of the head design people in Boca Raton.  Second and third-hand reports
that have come my way indicate that this is a must-purchase book, but I again
have no indications on the release date nor have I personally seen a copy
(unlike the abovementioned documents, this is supposed to be put out by a
"real publishing house" and will be avalible in bookstores near you)

disclaimer:  All of the above opinions are strictly my own, and in no way
reflect those of the employees or management of the International Business
Machines Corporation, whom I am am currently subcontracted to.

	There are two major products of Berkley, CA -- LSD and UNIX.  We don't
belive this to be strictly by coincidence.
