From a word-of-mouth report I've heard, the book is next to useless.
There are none of the insightful tips and gotcha warnings that made the
first one such a classic, and he leaves out almost all of the new
features of OS/2 2.0, from the CUA '91 controls to direct manipulation,
etc.

I'm wrestling with ICLUI right now, and I'd be happy for a gentle
intro myself.  Let me know if you find one.  As for MMPM, have you seen
the latest OS/2 Developer mag?  MMOS2 is the focus and there are a few
good articles.
