The real rude surprise is that there are no commerically available books to fill in the gap. If most designer book stores have ANY OS/2 books, you'll be lucky to find one at all, let alone something specific to Warp 4. Contrast that with the current selection of Windows 95 books that have maybe one or two slivers of real information, the rest about really basic issues (like turning on the machine, using the mouse, etc.), and come-on's to buy more books or software.
