Can someone who has purchased any of these books (list follows post)
tell me how useful they are?  If you get a chance, it would be nice to
have maybe a copy of the table of contents, or main headings for each
book. I am trying to decide which books I should buy.  The references
are all provided online, so I don't really want to have to pay for
those, not with OS/2 on my machine, which makes it easy to switch back
and forth.

If the reply is going to be of interest to everyone, please post,
otherwise send to my e-mail address:  robert.turner@synapse.isis.org

Thanks for any info made available,
Robert Turner


   o "Application Design Guide"
        Part Number: 10G6260   Price: $15.00

     This book provides an overview of the programming concepts
     supported by OS/2 2.0.  In more general terms than the
     Programming Guide, it introduces significant aspects of
     programming in the 32-bit OS/2 environment.  Use this book
     when building dynamic link libraries, when writing code for
     an object-oriented environment, or when migrating from OS/2
     16-bit applications.


   o  "Programming Guide Volume I"
        Part Number: 10G6461   Price: $15.00

     Three volumes provide guidance information and code examples
     to enable you to start writing source code using the
     application programming interfaces (APIs) OS/2 2.0 provides.

     Volume I describes the Control Program for programming
     functions that are internal to applications, including file
     system, memory management, exception management, and
     multitasking functions.

   o  "Programming Guide Volume II"
        Part Number: 10G6494   Price: $25.00

      Volume II describes the Presentation Manager windowed
      user interface, including messages and message queues,
      window classes, frame windows, control windows, and
      window controls.

   o  "Programming Guide Volume III"
        Part Number: 10G6495   Price: $15.00

      Volume III describes the graphics programming interface,
      including graphic primitives, and graphics segments, bit
      maps, and transformation functions.  This volume also
      describes printing and device support.
