Haven't seen it in Watcom's stuff. But I found an MMPM/2 extension for the
EMX compiler, and it had this in it's docs:

On MMPM/2 programming:
----------------------

Perhaps you noticed already that there is no MMPM/2 programming introduction
in this package, nor a API description useful enough for serious programming.

This is intended! :-)

IBM does a very good information politics concerning OS/2 2.x programming.
They provide the technical manuals on paper or in electronic form for low
charges. (You don't even get the manuals xeroxed for the same price :-)
So please use this offer.

Look for these manuals:

    MMPM/2 Programming Guide, IBM Doc. S41G-2919
    MMPM/2 Programming Reference, IBM Doc. S41G-2920

The MMPM/2 reference is contained in .inf format in the MMPM/2 Toolkit, which
itself is now part of version 2.1 of the Developer's Toolkit.
The package also contains important tools like the IPF and SOM compilers,
dialog and font editors and is rich of programming examples.

Another source of the MMPM/2 manuals is the

    IBM OS/2 Online Book Collection CD-ROM, IBM Doc. S53G-2166


Last not least, I recommend the EDM/2 to you, i.e. the Electronic OS/2
Developers Magazine.

This monthly periodical on OS/2 programming is published in .inf format and
can be obtained from

    ftp.cdrom.com  (in /pub/os2/2_x/program/newsltr)

or from better sorted BBS's.

If you have an article or questions about EDM/2, please contact the editor:

    Larry Salomon, Jr. (os2man{at}panix.com)

You'll find introductions on MMPM/2 programming e.g. in the January '94 issue
of the EDM/2 (edmi2-1a.zip).

Hope this is of any help to you :)
