The Presentation Manager has been enhanced to include several new classes for use with the Workplace Shell, notably the Container and Notebook classes. The OS/2 V2.0 Presentation Manager would seem to have all the basic requirements for writing programs that have the capabilities of Workplace Shell applications, without programmers having to learn SOM or become familiar with the Workplace Shell class hierarchy.
The question that arises therefore is this: how well can a straightforward PM program that uses the new classes and the drag/drop protocols integrate itself into the WPS environment? This section helps to answer this.
