 I guess there are not enough OS/2 developers  - OS/2 Developer
 Magazine is gone but a few of the "token" articles "meant" for
 The Developer's Magazine are now in the magazine below:

 JDBP> This book covers the iostreams classes, including manipulators,
 JDBP> user-defined extraction and insertion functions, and how to derive
 JDBP> new iostreams classes.  It also (very lightly) covers iostream use
 JDBP> with OS/2 GPI, Multimedia OS/2, and comms ports.

 Also, the more time I sent with this book, the more I liked it (we
 should all beware the reviewer's first review) :) ! Please change
 the above's review's last line from - It also (very lightly) ..... to:

 It also does a nice introduction of extending the iostream classes using
 some of OS/2's PM/GPI functions, OS/2's multimedia (sound/graphics)
 functions, and the communication ports.  This book helps "to clear"
 the way, for the "confused" OS/2 C++ programmer, when extending the
 iostream classes with the many different OS/2 devices.

 Developing Multimedia Applications Under OS/2
 By William Lawton, Bradley Noe, Marcelo Lopez
 1995
 John Wiley & Sons
 ISBN 0-471-13168-7

 Need a paper copy of OS/2's MMPM/2 functions/error messages ?  Here
 it is, in this book, written by some of the developers of OS/2's many
 multimedia's goodies.  The book starts off with general multimedia
 information and proceeds to cover OS/2's versions of MCI and MMIO,
 ending up with REXX's usage of the multimedia functions.

 I must admit that this is one of the few books out there on multimedia
 (covering any OS) that doesn't include a CD ROM.  Instead the book
 comes with a DISKETTE and the authors use the movies/sound effects
 that come with OS/2. I think it would have been nice to have seen some
 other OS/2 multimedia demos (are there any ?).

 The Entertainment Toolkit must have come out after the book because
 DIVE was mentioned - all three pages ( a list of DIVE function
 names.)

 If you need a book on game programming with information on OS/2's
 Entertainment Toolkit's APIs (EnDIVE, DART, and etc.) you will have
 to look elsewhere, but if you need a book on OS/2's MCI or MMIO, then
 this is the book!

 So long,
 -Jeffrey-
