  In many cases, this is true.  PM is much cleaner and regular than either
  Win16 or Win32, though.

  For example, Windows requires special classes to implement an MDI
  interface, limits your nesting to one level, and doesn't like having
  menus on the child windows; whereas with OS/2 you just create a standard
  window that is a child of another standard window, you can nest to your
  heart's content, and menus on child windows will work in exactly the
  same way as menus on any other windows do.

  For another example, in PM a simple combo box will recognise and act
  upon all of the messages for both entry fields and list boxes, since it
  is a combination of both.  Whereas in Windows, the messages responded to
  by comboboxes, entry fields, and listboxes are all entirely separate.

  The Guidelines Base Pack is free.
