There is a book called 'Client/Server Programming for OS/2 2.0' which goes
assumes no knowledge of OS2 and goes through and explains system specific
things like Pipes, semaphores, threads vs Processes.  
It is mainly with a 'client/server' theme ( obviously ) but it is teaching
me the basics of OS/2. It goes into PM as well, but seems to like the VIO
calls from OS/2 1.x
