The best book on OS/2 ever written! 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 14 people found this review helpful.
This is the only book I've been able to find that focuses exclusively on OS/2 Warp V4 - code named Merlin (not earlier versions). Fortunately, this is one of the BEST computer books ever written (and I've been in the computer biz for 20 years).It includes tips and tricks that you won't find else where (even on the web) - tips like, how do you configure your system to run the old launch pad instead of warp center. UI information is just one of the area's covered. Some highlights, installing, networking, system recovery, peer to peer networking, accessing NT servers, accessing Novel, accessing the Internet, 200 pages on tcp/ip, remote access, system performance, multi-protocol transport services, the bonus pack, installing win/os2 audio drivers.
That is a few of the highlights! This book has over 600 pages of hard core information, no fluff. This is the only book you will ever need to work with OS/2. FWIW - mine is beat up, well worn and has lots of notes and sticky notes marking areas. Buy this book!
Editorial Review:
The first authoritative guide to IBM's new OS/2 Warp 4 operating system, this book includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step installation and configuration instructions, detailed checklists, reference information, Speech Recognition, and modular coverage of new and preexisting features for new and experienced OS/2 users. It covers LAN and Java run time support and peer to peer networking.
