4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but a little out of date by now., May 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of the OS/2 Warp Masters (Paperback)

This is a good book. It explains some key areas well, and has useful information, but for the fairly high price it doesn't give a lot of material. Furthermore, two big chapters are focused on WinOS/2, which is not as relevant as it once was. My final judgement is that if you need a good book specifically on one of the topics covered in this book, go for it. Otherwise, you may want to look at other books which are better deals and cover more ground.
