  The water is lovely ...  (-:

  The APIs are pretty regular.  There are several good books on OS/2,
  and no doubt you will be showered with recommendations.

  Like David Noon, I recommend the Online Book Collection as a primary
  reference. There's a lot of gold buried in there, if you know where to
  look.  For example, the exact reason why DOS programs cannot write to
  the hard disc directly (I pick a topical subject entirely at random.)
  can be found in the Virtual Device Driver reference.

  There are also plenty of other references, the most famous of which is
  _Real_World_Programming_for_OS/2_.  There are other equally good ones,
  and a couple of new ones have just come out (unfortunately, I have
  only seen other people's copies, far too briefly to note down details).

  Partly because there is in fact a whole heap of official
  documentation circulated by IBM.

  An "Undocumented DOS" equivalent for OS/2 would be very thin.
