Probably everything worthwhile, given his current orgasmic state over Windows
NT. :-(  I wouldn't be surprised if it was merely a half-assed, warmed-over
rehash of his older book, released simply to cash in on OS/2 users' thirst
for just about anything OS/2-related.  Someone else here relayed that he once
said, "I don't do SOM"; that doesn't exactly give me Warm Fuzzies
about this
new edition, considering that SOM is at the heart of OS/2 2.x.
