There is just a single User's Guide.  There is not a separate Windows
programming guide and a separate DOS programming guide, as indicated in
your list (deleted from the above).  OS/2 programming is covered along
with the others in the User's Guide.

Although I can imagine that the Workset/2 could make life easier for the
PM programmer, it does not appear to be necessary to get it.  The OS/2
library is included in the package, along with the equivalent of the C
header files.  The sample PM program compiles and executes just fine with
nothing more than the tools provided with the compiler.
