Every Monday, I'll be reporting on OS/2-related items for
sale on http://www.ebay.com and the comp.os.os2.marketplace
newsgroup. Even if you're not thinking about buying
anything OS/2 related, you might find something that
catches your interested.

Sorry for being a little late on this one.  It was July 
4th, after all. At least there's more to talk about this 
time.

As always, there are copies of OS/2 2.x, Warp 3, Warp 4,
and Lotus applications available for sale.  There is a very 
rare copy of OS/2 1.3 - great for that old 286 you have 
lying around.

In the literature department, there are dozens of books.  
I'm no longer going to list them all, since they're are 
just too many.  Most of the books are for older versions of 
OS/2, but pretty much any programming book is still valid 
(one of the reasons why I love programming for OS/2).

However, one book stands out: Kogan and Deitel's "The 
Design of OS/2", under the listing "Two Classic 32 bit OS/2 
Programming Books".  This is a must-have, everyone!

In the software category, there are a number of interesting 
items: DCF/2 (on-the fly disk compression), 4OS2 
(command-line replacement), Object Desktop 1.5, Avarice, 
GammaTech utils, and GalCiv 2.

For programmers, we have: Borland C++ 2.0 (another highly 
desired item), a book on WPS programming, and VA Java 
Enterprise.  One item does stand out: under the heading, 
"Vintage OS/2 1.x Developers' Stuff!!!" you'll find ALL
FOUR of the original MS OS/2 programming references.  These 
books are priceless must-haves for the OS/2 programmer.  
They're a  complete reference of the 16-bit OS/2 API's, and 
when you have to deal with old source code, they will be a 
life saver.  Anyone who has to do maintenance on old OS/2 
programs needs these books.

On comp.os.os2.marketplace, there are various versions of 
OS/2 for sale, including LAN Server, as well as a few other 
minor items.

Those of you looking to sell your OS/2 related stuff, I 
strongly recommend you put it on eBay and post an 
announcement on comp.os.os2.marketplace. If you include the 
word "OS/2" in the title of your description, I'll see it
and include it in the next report.

If you're looking for OS/2 items on eBay, you should make 
two searches, one with the search term "OS/2" and another 
with the term "OS2".
