Sorry if FAQ

[Dr Snow]

Hi,
	I installed the copy of gnat Ada for os2 today, and got the PM
bindings for it as well. Now after programming in dos (at uni) I would
like to write native os/2 programs using the PM bindings. Could someone
direct me to some documentation on writing(setting up) simple os/2 windows.. 

	When I say documentation, maybe a PM FAQ, or a good book, or such.

Thanks in advance.

First, this is actually one of those posts where you should have
crossposted to comp.os.os2.programmer.misc (don't worry, I've taken
care of it).  The book I used (which gave me sufficient information)
was "OS/2 2.1 Workplace Shell Programming" by Stefano Maruzzi.
Oddly, the book is more about PM programming than the WPS.  There are
critics of the book, citing errors, etc.  There are other PM
programming books out there, but I'm not familiar with the titles.
I'm sure somebody from c.o.o.p.m will have something to say. :-)
