Something that I haven't seen mentioned in this discussion (or I may have
missed it) is that you don't have to buy all 17 volumes. Each volume
has its own IBM publication number, so you can order them separately
(or so a Team OS/2 member tells me).
Now, would someone who was rich enough to pay the $300 volunteer to
post the title and publication number (and maybe even a brief
description) of each volume in the set? Chances are, most of us will
only need a handful of volumes to get our job done.
