Craig, check out the new OS/2 C++ Class Library book by
Leong/Law/Love/Tsuji/and Olson. ICLUI may be old hat
to you by now, and it may be 800+ pages of dull stuff, but
it's great for me. If nothing else, it explains the odd segment
names you get in link maps .

With an enclosed disk, it's only $30 from Indelible Blue, and
you get a book written by the ICLUI designers. Often, the
bunch who designed the code is the last group you want
writing a manual for it, but this book is quite good. I've
been beaming down in the middle of things to use it as a
reference, and that works well, although the book seems
designed to be read pretty much in sequence. That's a good
sign.

The disk README apologizes for the continual delays in
publication. Having read only about 60 pages out of 800, I
take back all my snide comments about publication delays
in this echo and feel comfortable recommending it to anyone
who uses or is even considering using ICLUI. Indelible Blue
has the best price, but to see what I mean, if you see the
book in, like Barnes and igNoble, check out the bit on Canvases
vs Dialog Boxes (just look at the pictures on pp. 321-326).
It's not just a rote writeup of the ICLUI classes and their
functions. Ok, there's a tad of ICLUI evangelism, too...
