EDM/2 Wiki Updates - Next

EDM/2 is the premier site to find OS/2 and eComStation software development information.

On the last months I had been migrating the IBM Developer Connections articles to the EDM/2. I got formal permission from IBM to repost the articles on the site. If you know any other IBM OS/2 documentation, development related, that will be a good assst for EDM/2, please contact me to request permission.

Please keep reading the latest news about the site.
