Hi and welcome to Windows NT!
We have some porting tools to assist you in porting from OS/2 1.3 to Windows
NT that have been uploaded into LIB 11. I am including a list below.
Aside from that, there is an excellent book "Inside NT" by Helen Custer that
gives some detailed explanations about the architecture of Windows NT that
you may find helpful.
I'm sure that there are others in this forum that will have some advice for
you in your porting, but if you run into any difficulties or if you have any
specific questions, please feel free to post them here and we will help you.
