Does anyone else have any opinion on case:pm? Well, you cannot create a subclass or a child window under case:pm without going in and directly modifying their code. Anything non-standard must be done manually. It appears to me that case:pm provides the equivalence of the first two weeks of learning pm programming. If that is worth the price to you, then you may find case:pm to be a good purchase. To me, the essentials are: - thorough knowledge of C - Advanced OS/2 Programming by Ray Duncan - Programming the OS/2 Presentation Manager by Charles Petzold - the toolkit (I know of no difference between Microsoft and IBM)
