: Yes, order the IBM Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 2.0 (I don't have the
: product number handy) $83 (educational) [are you SURE that the programmer's
: kit that you were looking at included a C compiler?]).  It includes
: the libraries, tools, and online documentation needed for 2.0 development.

I beg to differ.  It contains the documentation needed to use the tools.
And it contains the condensed O.L. references to API's that are useful when
you already basically know them.  The real documentation to tell you how
to use those API's to do 2.0 development is called the Technical Reference
Library and costs $1021.00 ala carte.

No upgrade path from the 1.3 SDK which included most all this in the meal.
