There are some very important differences in programming TCP/IP for
unix and OS/2. The unix book is OK for the general concepts, but some
aspects are different, most notably error handling and controlling
blocking. Unfortunatly, I have been unable to find a descent book, in
fact any book, that properly covers programming TCP/IP under OS/2. 

Read the docs that come on the DEVCON ROM carefully! this is
difficult, since the IBM library reader vacumes so bad, but it is
important.
