[Discussion] 4 OS/2 Programming Books

[Joseph Hansen]

March 21, 2007

Thomas,

I sold a number of my OS/2 books to Jerry Garren who, I believe, is  
collecting older computer books of various kinds.  Jerry subscribed  
to this list (and may still do so), so he may have read your  
postings, but you may wish to contact him directly:  
jerry.garren at gtdneo.com or (805) 528-0352
