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.
