/pubs/pc/software/os2/microsoft/ptk10/ |
The Microsoft® Operating System/2 Programmer's Toolkit contains the latest tools, documentation, and sample programs for developers writing MS® OS/2 programs. The software for the toolkit is distributed on four disks labeled Tools, Applications, Examples, and QuickHelp.
To help you find the information that you need, the following list briefly explains the contents of each manual in the MS OS/2 Programmer's Toolkit:
-
Microsoft Operating System/2 Programming Tools describes the programming tools found in the MS OS/2 Programmer's Toolkit. You can use these tools to develop OS/2 programs.
-
Microsoft Operating System/2 Programmer's Learning Guide teaches you the fundamentals of programming for MS OS/2. You will be led through the steps necessary to create your first MS OS/2 program and dynamic-link library.
-
Microsoft Operating System/2 Programmer's Reference gives the syntax and parameters of each MS OS/2 function, and provides examples of how to use each function.
To help you install the software for the toolkit, a setup program is provided on the Tools disk. This program prompts you for setup information, then loads the software onto your system. To run setup, type the following at the A: prompt:
setup
After running setup, make sure that you modify your PATH, INCLUDE, and LIB environment variables as directed by the program.
Note: the above guides are a work-in-progress (we're converting the PDFs to Markdown).
