I was at the "World's Biggest Bookstore" in Toronto, Ontario. They had a few 
dozen OS/2 oop programming books.

What I want is a book or set of books that cover these topics:

     (1) Complete listing of all standard OS/2 32 and 16 bit APIs and
         DLLs
     (2) A learn by doing book for C++ prorgramming in OS/2 from the 
         "hello world" type of program to PM programming, DLLs, GDI,
         IPC/Semaphores/QUeues/Pipes etc, and so on.  
     (3) A good reference/tutorial on creating user interfaces
     (4) OOP encapsulation for C++ and OS/2 - OS/2 PM classes
      
ANy suggestions? Please mail me replies, much appreciated.

Also DOES ANYONE DO SMALLTALK/V PM?  Does it make your apps slow? Do your
clients complain?  Do they love it hate it, or are they indifferent, or
can't tell? (The latter would be best.)

And how do you like it?  I've learned C++, but it seems C++ is a 500lb
canary, and smalltalk is more like a hummingbird (which happens
to be caged in by a 5 tonne birdcage -- you win some and lose some.)
Does anyone know whereof I speak?)
