I'm working on it.  :)  Of course, mine won't be out until end-April, and
that helps you quite a bit now.  :-/

If you don't know any programming for OS/2, there are a couple of books
which deal with OS/2 1.x (both kernal and PM).  I can't remember the name
of the kernal book, but the PM book is "Programming the OS/2 Presentation
Manager" by Charles Petzold.  I *highly* recommend getting it if you're
doing any PM programming.  Also, there is the "Client/Server Programming
Under OS/2" (or something like that) which has been updated for 2.0 (is
it on the shelves yet?  I haven't looked...).

Cheers,
