OS/2 LIVES!
VITAL SIGNS FOUND IN NEW BOOK RELEASE

Berkeley, CA, June 13, 1994 -- Contrary to reports (and wishful thinking)
from its competitors, OS/2 is alive and thriving. Nowhere is this more
evident than in Osborne/McGraw-Hill's latest book release, BYTE's OS/2
Programmer's Cookbook by Kathy Ivens and Bruce Hallberg, which
demonstrates the excitement about OS/2 in the programming community.

An ideal OS/2 resource guide for both programmers and power users alike,
BYTE's OS/2 Programmer's Cookbook contains a collection of tips, tricks,
and hacks (understood to be amazingly clever and/or useful blocks of code)
that will allow users to experience OS/2's full potential. BYTE's OS/2
Programmer's Cookbook also has descriptions of the latest OS/2 shareware,
freeware, utilities, and code along with insights about how to access them
and leverage them to take full advantage of their power.

Written in the irreverent, easy-to-read Programmer's Cookbook style, BYTE's
OS/2 Programmer's cookbook provides

** Explanations of programming utilities, language-specific source code,
environment-specific source code, and language-independent source code
that can be used as is or adapted to each user's needs.

** A listing of valuable resources that will help programmers find the
freeware they want on networks and online services.

** A CD-ROM that contains all of the programs discussed (plus many more) to
save programmers time and energy.

** Communications and utility software necessary to use the programs, plus
shareware editors and debuggers.

BYTE's OS/2 Programmer's Cookbook is the only book available covering the
vast array of free and low-cost tools designed specifically for OS/2
programmers and aficionados. For every OS/2 programmer and user who wants
to get up to speed and stay in front of the pack, BYTE's OS/2 Programmer's
Cookbook is the perfect companion for future success.
