OS/2: Features, Functions and Applications

This accessible, concise introduction to Operating System/2, the Standard Edition 1.0, is written by key members of the OS/2 design team at IBM. It covers the most important aspects of OS/2, what its capabilities are, and how to apply it. All necessary background material is provided - familiarity with IBM PC DOS or Intel 80286 microprocessors is not required. OS/2 transcends the simple PC environment - this guide shows systems planners and applications developers how OS/2 can provide a sophisticated, large-scale (or small-scale) networking system.
