Dear netters,
just as a sidemark: Here in Germany there are 3 Warp4 titles out by
now. Each of them is a >800 pages tome, introductory to medium level,
but surely below the level of "Unleashed".

Can anybody explain why it is possible to publish Warp4 titles here
but in the US the OS/2 market is so dyed out that SAM's cannot afford
to publish a book that has been known as THE top quality OS/2 title?

If OS/2 could 'walk on water' the front page headline in
InfoWorld would read "OS/2 CAN'T SWIM!!!".
