As seen in The UK Internet Book (1995 revision, Addison-Wesley) by Sue Schofield sue@s-sco.demon.co.uk an excellent introduction to the internet, despite its lack of focus on OS/2.

This document is a list of pointers to information about OS/2 including WARP. If you found other sources of information useful, then please let me know, so that I can add them to this list. Please send any feedback to Alex Chapman alex@mercer.demon.co.uk

Introduction

Each entry in this document is in the following format:

description --> OS/2 Meta FAQ: List of useful pointers for OS/2 users
author/owner--> by Alex Chapman alex@mercer.demon.co.uk
location --> ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/os2/doc/os2-meta.zip

Where an entry description makes no mention of a version of OS/2, it probably applies to all versions. Where no author/owner is listed, it is generally because I don't know. If you do, please tell me.

This document is also available in html format at the above archive location. It has been formatted for easy offline viewing, and tested with the WebExplorer available at
ftp://ftp.ibm.net/pub/WebExplorer/

It was converted to html using my faq2html.cmd tool which can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/os2/www/faq2html.zip

If you have found other sources of information about OS/2 useful, then please let me know, so that I can add them to this list. Please send any comments/corrections/additions to Alex Chapman
