If you have the service pack, take a look at the bottom of the read.me.
That has the part numbers, and ordering information, for the redbooks.
(If you don't have the service pack, but want the info, drop me a note
off-line).

A good book to take a look at, that includes a section on SOM/WPS
programming, is "Client/Server programming with OS/2 2.0", by Orfali &
Harkey.  While WPS programming is obviously not the book's primary focus,
the 50 odd pages it spends on the topic make a good introduction, IMHO.
