You've heard the hype ("...a better Windows than Windows..."), read the raves (over 50 major industry awards including InfoWorld Product of the Year 1992, 1993, and 1994), and seen the cool nuns on the TV commercial—now you've decided that OS/2 Warp is the operating system for you. If you're going to make the jump to Warp speed and experience the high-performance power that only OS/2 can deliver, don't make a move without this book!

From a team of IBM insiders comes this amazingly user-friendly, quick-access guide that will show you how to use all the neat new tools and features IBM has packed into OS/2 Warp. Writing in a down-to-earth style that speaks to everyone from the novice user to the experienced OS/2 pro, Doug Azzarito and David Green provide you with clear, step-by-step guidance and a gold mine of tips, tricks, and undocumented information you just won't find anywhere else. In no time, you'll master everything you'll need to:
