                               DDDDDDDDDDD

    The GUI-OOUI War: Windows Vs OS/2
    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    Theo Mandel
    Van Nostrand Reinhold
    1993
    ISBN 0-442-01750-2

    This book apparently explains the benefits of object-oriented user
    interfaces such as the Workplace Shell.  ( No further information on
    the rest of the book is available.  )


    Taligent's Guide to Designing Programs:
    A Guide to  Well-Mannered Programming in C++
    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    Addison-Wesley,
    ISBN 0201-40888-0

    This isn't strictly an OS/2 book, but much of the book discusses
    C++ programming from an OS/2 perspective.  The Taligent philosophy
    makes for interesting reading for the C++ programmer who is developing
    large systems or class libraries.


    C++ IOStreams Handbook
    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    Steve Teale
    Addison-Wesley
    1993
    ISBN 0-201-59641-5

    This is not an OS/2 programming book per se, but is reported to be
    *the* introduction to using iostreams in C++.  So it is of passing
    relevance to a booklist devoted to OS/2 programming in C++.


    The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX operating system
    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    Karels, McKusick, Leffler, and Quarterman
    ISBN 0-201-06196-1

    Not an OS/2 book, I know.  But programmers writing for TCP/IP for OS/2
    may be interested in the detailed discussions in this book of the
    original Berkeley sockets design and implementation.


    C Programmer's Guide to NetBIOS, IPX and SPX
    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    W. David Schwaderer

    Tons of code
                        -- Review by Jeffrey White, FIDONET#1:130/74.0


    POSIX Programmer's Guide
    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    Donald Lewine
    ISBN 0-937175-73-0.

    A fairly inexpensive book, that nd makes a nice programming companion
    for users of EMX C++.
                    -- Review by Thomas Mcwilliams, FIDONET#1:109/615.0
