Three places, in order of sophistication :
1. The PRCP.INF file from the OS/2 Developers' Toolkit 1.3 has been
widely circulated on FIDONET for years. All good OS/2
programming sites near to you should have a copy of the file,
variously archived with names such as PRCP.ZIP or INF16BIT.ZIP.
2. (see quote)
| Conference: Os2prog
| To: Richard Hulme Date: 12/12/1993
| From: Martin Pollard Time: 12:51 am
| Subj: VIO functions
|
| JdeBP> Failing that, get hold of PRCP.ZIP from your nearest BBS, which is
| JdeBP> the PRCP.INF Control Program Reference file from the old 16-bit
| JdeBP> compilers. That also details the VIO calls.
|
| Another alternative is the book "OS/2 EXTRA! KBD, MOU & VIO SPECIAL
| FUNCTIONS REVEALED" by Len Dorfman and Marc J. Neuberger (ISBN
| 0-8306-4567-5, US$19.95). It's basically the information in PRCP.INF,
| but in printed form (and cleaned up a little). It'll tell you just
| about everything you need to know about the VIO, KBD, and MOU functions,
| including which functions will and will not work in a windowed OS/2
| session (as opposed to a full-screen OS/2 session).
|
| And no, I'm not related to Jonathan. I *do* like his taste in last names,
| though. :-)
3. The Developer Connection CD-ROM is available by annual
subscription, and contains many programming tools and toolkits
for OS/2. In particular, it contains the OS/2 Developers'
Toolkit 1.3 in its entirety, including all on-line
documentation, header files (C and assembly), and libraries.
