   about Where do I start ? on 24 Oct 96  14:47:45({<*=-

 LW> Just exactly where do I start ?
 
 Well, to start, you need a compiler, or an OS/2 interpreter. :)

 LW> I want to program small apps and maybe small games for PM.
 
 I would suggest pascal, C, or C++ for this.  Or, if you feel adventurous,
 assembly.

 LW> What software and documentation will I need to get me started ?
 
 The OS/2 SDK documentation is a good start.  The OS/2 redbooks also come
 in handy, as does the Electronic Developer/2 Magazine (EDM/2).

 LW> I can't program in C++ - yet but I guess it's about time I
 LW> started. Are there any other powerful languages I can use?
 
 Yes.  C, pascal, and assembly.

 LW> Is it possible to use BASIC to program for PM ?

 Yes.  Liberty BASIC (interpreted, shareware) and Realizer (Computer
 Associates, compiled, commercial...includes OS/2 and Windows target/host
 support) BASIC.

... God I hate floppies.
