Hi Coridon,

The definitive source of API documentation is the .BOO (Bookmanager)
files in the "OS/2 Online Bookshelf", a CD from IBM; it costs about
$35 and a new one should be shipping soon updated for Warp.

Much of the information is also in .INF (VIEW.EXE) files supplied with
the OS/2 Developer's Toolkit. The cheapest way to get that is to join
the Developer's Assistance Program (DAP), which is free, and then
subscribe to the Developer Connection CD for about $130 a year. [DAP
membership gives you a 40% discount on the Dev Conn subscription,
which is usually a bit over $200.] These CD's will give you a slew of
information, tips, source code and fully licensed copies of all the
toolkits and documentation.

The phone number for DAP membership is 1-407-982-6408 and the number
for Dev Conn subscription is 1-800-6-DEVCON.

Regards

Dave
