For what it's worth, I've found the best tools for PM development are
the IBM Developer's Kit (not the MS one) and Smalltalk/V PM.

I prefer the IBM developer's kit because it contains more information
than the MS one, combining what MS calls the "Developer's Kit" and the
"Device Driver Kit."  Plus, it has the docs on OS/2 v. 1.3, which MS
doesn't offer.  Last, IBM is more religious about updating their kit
and making that update available to developers at low cost.

Smalltalk/V PM is a fantastic environment for "interactively" testing
PM programs.  You can sit at the keyboard and find out how each PM
function works by invoking it and inspecting the results.  This is
better than Codeview 'cause you don't have to go through the edit/
compile/link phase every time you want to try something different.
Smalltalk/V PM does NOT replace the need for an SDK, however.
