Hello Rodrigo!

remarks to All:

 RD> What's a good OS/2 Warp programming book ? , the newer the better.

 RD> PS: I'll stick with text rather than PM programming for now.

If you're just sticking with text programming, it's exactly like
programming for DOS, so any C or Pascal book will do.  There's no special
knowledge required, just an OS/2 compiler.  The exception to that is if you
want to make DLLs or device drivers, or use some of the Dos...() functions
that OS/2 provides, or of course write multi-threaded programs.  However,
the first two don't really use text mode so I doubt that's what you're
trying to do, and most OS/2 compilers come with some kind of API function
reference, including a reference to the multithreading functions.  In
short, you could pull it off with no books, or at the very least a book on
multithreading.  Plus I believe there are some PD tutorials around about
multithreading - check your local OS/2 or C/Pascal programming board.
