DESCRIPTION
OS/2 Extended Edition (EE) Version 1.2 is a participant in
SAA.
OS/2 Standard Edition (SE) Version 1.2 is used as the base for
OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.2. Therefore, OS/2 EE Version 1.2
benefits from the enhancements to OS/2 SE Version 1.2 described in
Programming Announcement 289-507, dated September 26, 1989.
OS/2 EXTENDED EDITION VERSION 1.2 INSTALLATION ENHANCEMENTS
All components of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 (OS/2 Standard Edition,
Communications Manager, Database Manager, and the LAN Requester) use
a common install process. This new install process allows more
flexibility in the choice of functions to be installed, the ability
to disregard unwanted functions, and the ability to tailor the
install process for other users. The OS/2 Communications Manager,
Database Manager and LAN Requester may be installed on any logical
fixed disk drive.
Ease of installation of Communications Manager has been
enhanced through the introduction of Basic Configuration Services and
Batch Configuration support. Basic Configuration Services is
intended to assist an end user, who does not have the support of a
systems administrator and who is relatively inexperienced in
communications, to install the program and have it running for a
number of communications environments. Basic Configuration Services
may be used for one or more of the following:
o 3270 Emulation, directly connected via SDLC, LAN, or DFT
o 5250 Workstation Feature connected via Twinax, SDLC, or LAN
(Token-Ring only)
o ASCII Emulation to single host
o Database Manager's Remote Data Services configuration between one
Database Requester and Server
o LAN Requester or Server.
Basic Configuration Services may be supplemented with the
previously available Advanced Configuration Services to cover other
environments and additional Remote Data Services connections as
required.
Batch Configuration support is designed to assist a systems
administrator who is supervising the installation of many similar end
users, such as members of a department or multiple branch offices.
Basic or Advanced Configuration Services support is initially used to
establish an individual prototype configuration file that is
representative of the user set. The systems administrator then
creates an ASCII file that contains the essential differences between
individual end users. This file and the prototype file are processed
by Batch Configuration support to build a configuration file for each
user, which is used for subsequent installation.
IBM PROCEDURES LANGUAGE 2/REXX
An OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.2 user can utilize the
integrated Procedures Language 2/REXX in three ways. First, it can
be used to write command procedures and macros for OS/2 programs.
Second, REXX may be used to write programs with embedded SQL
statements to access data (stored) in the Database Manager. Third,
REXX may used to write programs that call the Query Manager Callable
Interface to access Query Manager functions and stored query and form
objects. For example, from a REXX program, request the Query Manager
to retrieve a stored query, run the query to access data in the
Database Manager and format the query result using a default report
form, or a pre-defined report form.
INTERPRETER SERVICES APIS
The Database Manager component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 provides
a set of Interpreter Services APIs that allow application developers
to use Database Services with languages that are not currently
supported. In order to take advantage of these APIs, application
developers must provide a routine that is functionally equivalent to
the Procedures Language 2/REXX RxVar routine as described in the IBM
OS/2 PROCEDURES LANGUAGE 2/REXX REFERENCE MANUAL. This user-provided
routine is used to transfer variable data between Database Services
and the calling application.
These APIs are intended for use in applications that would not
normally use a precompiler, such as those written in an interpreted
language. Information about these APIs will not be included in the
OS/2 EE Version 1.2 library but will be available upon request from:

Entry Systems Division
Department A50, Building 814

LAN REQUESTER ENHANCEMENTS
The LAN Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 requires
the IBM OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 to be operational. This is a
revision to a statement contained in Programming Announcement
289-217, dated May 16, 1989, which could incorrectly imply that the
OS/2 EE Version 1.2 LAN Requester will directly attach to the OS/2
LAN Server Version 1.0. Direct attachment to OS/2 LAN Server
Version 1.0 can be established by first logging onto a OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.2. For additional information, refer to OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.2 Programming Announcement 289-623, dated
November 14, 1989.
The LAN Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 has been
enhanced to use the same User Profile Management (UPM) used by the
other components of IBM OS/2 EE Version 1.2. For example, the same
user ID and password can access resources controlled by either the
Database Manager component or the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The
LAN Requester is a participant in the Basic Configuration Services
and Batch Configuration common install process.
When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the LAN
Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 will operate over Ethernet
DIX Version 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 LANs (hereafter referred to as
Etherand LANs). This support is provided through the Communications
Manager component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2, which uses the Network
Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) for these two additional LAN
protocols. The supported Etherand LAN adapters are listed in the
MACHINE REQUIREMENTS section.
When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the LAN
Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 can take advantage of
additional support provided by the IBM OS/2 LAN API. Several new
categories of APIs are supported, as well as additional calls to LAN
API categories already supported by IBM's OS/2 EE Version 1.2 LAN
Requester. These APIs give the application programmer a set of calls
for LAN interprocess communications, network management, network
messaging, shared resource management, security and network services.
The API categories supported are:
o ACCESS PERMISSION: Examine or modify user and group access
permission records for server resources
o ALERT: Notification of network events
o AUDITING: Control the audit log file that contains an audit
trail of server operations
o CONFIGURATION: Retrieve network configuration information
o CONNECTION: List of all connections made to a server by a
requester client, or all connections made to a server's shared
resources
o DOMAIN: Obtain domain-specific information
o ERROR LOGGING: Control the error log file
o FILE: Monitoring which file, device and pipe resources are
opened on a server and closing one of the resources if necessary
o GROUP: Control user groups in the User Accounts Subsystem
o HANDLE: Get and set information on a per-handle basis
o MAILSLOT: One-way interprocess communication
o MESSAGE: Send, read, log, and forward messages
o NAMED PIPE: Bi-directional interprocess communication
o REMOTE UTILITY: Copy and move remote files, remotely execute a
program, and access the time-of-day information on a remote
server
o REQUESTER: Control the operation of requesters
o SERIAL DEVICE: Control shared serial devices and their
associated queues
o SERVER: Enable remote administration tasks to be performed on a
local or remote server
o SERVICE: Start and control network service programs
o SESSION: Control network sessions established between requesters
and servers
o SHARE: Control shared resources
o SPOOLER: Application access to spooler queue manager operations
(NOTE: This API category replaces the PRINT API category
previously announced.)
o STATISTICS: Retrieve and clear operational statistics for
requesters
o USE: Examine or control connections (uses) between requesters
and servers
o USER: Control a user's account in the User Account Subsystem
For a complete list of the APIs supported by OS/2 Extended
Edition Version 1.2 Requester, refer to the IBM OS/2 LAN SERVER
VERSION 1.2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (S01F-0256-00).
COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER ENHANCEMENTS
New functions within the Communications Manager allow OS/2 EE
applications to access host applications using LU0.
These new functions will also allow:
o Communications support for LU0 terminal functions
o A migration path for LU0-based applications
o Workable replacements for LU0 based control units
o Base communications for LU1, 2, and 3 emulators (this is in
addition to the LU1, 2, 3, and 6.2 support previously announced).
Communication is enabled through the use of two programming
interfaces. The Session Level Interface (SLI) is a higher level data
stream interface that will normally be used by customer applications.
The SNA Request Unit Interface (RUI) is at a lower level and is
intended for system programming but is also available for customer
use. Programming language support for both SLI and RUI include the
C/2 (TM), COBOL/2 (TM), Pascal/2 and Macro Assembler/2 (TM)
compilers. Collectively, SLI and RUI are referred to as Conventional
LU Application (LUA).
Links supported are X.25, Token-Ring Network, SDLC, and
Personal Computer Network, either direct to a host or through an
OS/2 EE SNA gateway. The workstation is supported as an SNA
secondary, dependent logical unit.
EHLLAPI has been enhanced with new functions that may be used
by applications in the Presentation Manager (TM) environment. These
functions may be used by the application to manage the size and
visibility of the 3270 emulation session windows.
X.25 support does not require the use of a Packet Switched
Data Network (PSDN). X.25 may be used between IBM systems and
Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2 (R)) systems using supported compatible
X.25 links, other than PSDN.
VSE/SP V4 works with OS/2 EE Version 1.2 to support 3270 and
ASCII file transfers.
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines

DATABASE MANAGER ENHANCEMENTS
The Database Manager supports X.25 connectivity as provided by
the Communications Manager. This provides support for the Database
Manager Remote Data Services, between OS/2 workstations connected to
an X.25 network.
The SQL/QMF facility supports the download of data from DB/2
(TM) and SQL/DS, and has been enhanced to provide the ability to
specify automatic table creation and automatic import of data at the
time the command is issued.
The Query Manager menus and panels functions have been
enhanced in the areas of screen definition and layout as well as
enabling the execution of panel actions from Query Manager
procedures. This allows more flexibility in the design of custom
applications.
DOS COMPATIBILITY MODE ENHANCEMENTS
Approximately 30KB of additional memory is available for DOS
applications as compared to the same environment in OS/2 EE
Version 1.1. When IBM Token-Ring Network is used, approximately 65KB
of additional memory is available for DOS applications.

The numbers shown in the above worksheet give the recommended
memory size in MB for concurrent operation of designated OS/2 (R)
functions. These numbers reflect the working set of the OS/2
functions listed, not the total size of all the code and data areas
that comprise the functions. The quantities shown assume an
acceptable degree of swapping. Refer to "Memory Management
Techniques" in the OS/2 INFORMATION AND PLANNING GUIDE for a
description of the method used to develop these quantities.
The memory requirement is less if the user does not execute
all installed functions and applications concurrently. In that case,
the required memory size is the sum of the base operating system and
the particular functions and applications the user wishes to execute
concurrently, plus an allowance for user data. Using less than the
recommended memory size may increase the time to switch from one
function or application to another, reduce keystroke responsiveness,
reduce throughput, and increase the size of the swap data file
(identified in the following worksheet).

DESCRIPTION
DOS LAN REQUESTER: The DOS LAN Requester (DLR) is the component of
the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 that allows IBM DOS Version 3.3 and
IBM DOS Version 4.0 workstation users to access resources controlled
by OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The DLR replaces the IBM PCLP
Version 1.3 Extended Services requesters on a network domain when
connected to OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The conversion from PCLP
Version 1.3 to DLR is via a PCLP-like menu option. This option
removes the PCLP Version 1.3 requester modules from the workstation
and replaces them with DLR modules by downloading the DLR modules
from OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. DLR provides enhancements over
IBM's PCLP Version 1.3 in the areas of security, useability, random
access memory (RAM) requirements and LAN Application Programming
Interfaces (APIs). The LAN Support Program Version 1.1 is included
in the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 for use with each copy of the DLR.
NOTE: Other IBM DOS products requiring the LAN Support Program
Version 1.1 may use the LAN Support Program Version 1.1 included in
the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 when the DOS workstation also has the
DLR installed.
DLR requires a user to successfully logon to the OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.2 before access to any LAN resources are allowed.
Validation of resource access is always determined by the logon
user ID. DLR is granted access to resources of the OS/2 LAN Server
Version 1.2 using the same access control system as the OS/2 EE
Version 1.2 Requester.
DLR useability allows the user the flexibility to perform
network tasks, including logon, from both the Full Screen Interface
and the Command Line Interface. Once logon is complete, a user may
select one of eight color combinations for the DLR display panels.
In addition, local applications can now be added to the DLR
Application Selector. These local applications, which reside on the
local machines' fixed disk drive, may also be defined in separate
groups and referenced by a unique group name. There is a maximum of
eight user-defined unique group names available. From the two
pre-defined application groups (LAN Services and Served Applications)
and the user-defined groups, the user selects which group to make
current. A list of the current group's applications is then
displayed.
RAM is available to DOS applications and can be increased by
approximately 10KB to 20KB when using DOS Version 3.3, and 25KB to
35KB when using DOS Version 4.0, versus comparable configurations
provided by PCLP Version 1.3. This memory savings can be achieved by
using the first 64K segment of RAM above the 1MB address in IBM's
80286 or 80386-based machines equipped with extended memory. Or this
memory savings can also be achieved when using IBM machines that use
the IBM Expanded Memory Adapter with support for the Lotus, Intel,
and Microsoft (2) (LIM) Expanded Memory Specification (EMS)
Version 4.0 provided by DOS Version 4.0.
Applications can be developed for the DLR that will utilize a
rich subset of the same API calls supported by the OS/2 LAN API.
Most of the API categories defined and supported in the OS/2 EE
Version 1.2 LAN Requester and OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 will also
be supported by the DLR. The API categories that are available to
applications running with the DLR are Access Permission, Auditing,
Configuration, Connection, Domain, File, Group, Handle, Mailslot,
Message, Named Pipe, Remote Utility, Requester, Serial Device,
Server, Service, Session, Share, Statistics, Use and User. For a
complete list of APIs supported by DLR, refer to IBM OS/2 LAN SERVER
VERSION 1.2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (S01F-0256-00).

OS/2 EXTENDED EDITION VERSION 1.2 REQUESTER: The OS/2 LAN Requester
component of the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 has been enhanced to use the
same User Profile Management (UPM) used by other components of the
OS/2 EE Version 1.2. As an example, the same user ID and password
can access resources controlled by either the Database Manager
component or the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2.
The OS/2 LAN Requester is a participant in the Basic
Configuration Services and Batch Configuration common install
processes with the other Communications Manager and Database Manager
components of the OS/2 EE Version 1.2. These new install processes
allow more flexibility in the choice of functions to be installed,
the ability to remove unwanted functions, and the ability to tailor
the install process for other users. The LAN Requester may be
installed on any logical fixed disk drive (that is, C, D or E).
When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the OS/2
LAN Requester will operate over Ethernet DIX Version 2.0 and IEEE
802.3 LANs (Etherand (TM) LANs). This support is provided through
the Communications Manager component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 that uses
the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) for these two
additional LAN protocols.
When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the OS/2
LAN Requester can take advantage of additional support provided by
the OS/2 LAN APIs. Several new categories of APIs will be supported,
as well as additional calls to LAN API categories already announced
as supported under OS/2 EE Version 1.2 LAN Requester. These APIs
give the application programmer a set of calls for LAN interprocess
communications, network management, network messaging, shared
resource management, security and network services. API categories
that are supported are:
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
o ACCESS PERMISSION: Examine or modify user and group access
permission records for server resources
o ALERT: Notification of network events
o AUDITING: Control the audit log file that contains an audit
trail of server operations
o CONFIGURATION: Retrieve network configuration information
o CONNECTION: List of all connections made to a server by a
requester client or all connections made to a server's shared
resources
o DOMAIN: Obtain domain-specific information
o ERROR LOGGING: Control the error log file
o FILE: Monitoring which file, device and pipe resources are
opened on a server, and closing one of the resources if necessary
o GROUP: Control user groups in the User Accounts Subsystem
o HANDLE: Get and set information on a per-handle basis
o MAILSLOT: One-way interprocess communication
o MESSAGE: Send, read, log and forward messages
o NAMED PIPE: Bi-directional interprocess communication
o REMOTE UTILITY: Copy and move remote files, remotely execute a
program and access the time-of-day information on a remote server
o REQUESTER: Control the operation of requesters
o SERIAL DEVICE: Control shared serial devices and their
associated queues
o SERVER: Enable remote administration tasks to be performed on a
local or remote server
o SERVICE: Start and control network service programs
o SESSION: Control network sessions established between requesters
and servers
o SHARE: Control shared resources
o SPOOLER: Application access to spooler queue manager operations
(NOTE: This API category replaces the PRINT API category
previously announced.)
o STATISTICS: Retrieve and clear operational statistics for
requesters
o USE: Examine or control connections (uses) between requesters
and servers
o USER: Control a user's account in the User Accounts Subsystem
For a complete list of the APIs supported by the OS/2 EE
Version 1.2 Requester, refer to IBM OS/2 LAN SERVER VERSION 1.2
APPLICATION PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (S01F-0256-00).
UTILIZATION OF IBM OS/2 EE VERSION 1.2: OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2
can take advantage of, and use features of, the new and enhanced OS/2
EE Version 1.2. These include the High Performance File System
(HPFS). HPFS is an attractive alternative to the File Allocation
Table (FAT) or FAT-based file system because it supports DASD with as
many as 16 partitions and can handle partitions as large as two
gigabytes. The HPFS maintains compatibility with the FAT file system
at the API level and is less performance sensitive as file sizes
and/or directories become very large. The system installation
procedure is used to install the HPFS. The OS/2 LAN Server
Version 1.2, when operating with the HFPS, will have improved
performance over the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0, particularly for
random operations.
With the enhanced OS/2 EE Version 1.2, the OS/2 LAN Server
Version 1.2 can now support a total of up to 8,000 open files. This
is an increase from the previous allowable maximum of 255 open files.
ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SERVER RESOURCES: The access control
system has been enhanced to provide a higher level of control over
LAN Server resources than was available with OS/2 LAN Server
Version 1.0. The access control system provides a means to protect
LAN Server resources based on permissions assigned to a user or
groups of users. No access is allowed to a server resource unless
explicitly specified.
The permissions available with OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2
provide more granularity than available with the original OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.0. The permissions are: NONE, EXECUTE, READ,
WRITE, CREATE, DELETE, ATTRIBUTE and PERMISSION. NONE, EXECUTE and
READ remain unchanged. READ and WRITE used in combination replace
UPDATE. EXECUTE, READ, WRITE, CREATE, DELETE, ATTRIBUTE and
PERMISSION replace ALTER. All permissions, except NONE, may be used
in combination with any other.
The Command Line Interface has also been enhanced to support
management of the users, groups, aliases and access control profiles.
Access management of resources across OS/2 LAN Server
Version 1.2 domains has been simplified with the introduction of
guests. A guest account may be created for a domain. Whenever a
user tries to access a resource, such as an external alias, on a
domain where the user is not defined, the permissions associated with
the guest account will be used.
FILE REPLICATION SERVICE: The new File Replication Service provides
the ability for an OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 to replicate all or
part of a directory tree over the LAN to either another machine
running the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 or to a workstation machine
running the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 Requester component. The replication
service also allows for the replication of information locally,
without use of the LAN, to provide a local duplication capability.
The source of all replicated information is specified as a directory,
with all associated subdirectories. Likewise, the target of all
replicated information is another directory, with subdirectory
structure matching the source. Each target can replicate only the
directories that it requires. The source can set the level of
replication to either the entire tree or file by file. The OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.2 replication source checks for changes in the
directories to be replicated at user-defined intervals and notifies
target machines of any changes that occur during the intervals. The
target machines then perform updates.
REQUESTER ACCESS TO LAN SERVER RESOURCES: Any mix of OS/2 EE
Version 1.2 or Version 1.1, DLR, or PCLP Version 1.3 requesters may
be active on a single OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. (Refer to Figures
1 and 2). Refer to the PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS section below for
factors that influence the practical limit of active workstations.
The following describes the IBM requester access of server
resources over a LAN. This description focuses on three specific
areas:
o Logon to a domain (a domain is a logically defined server or
group of server machines including the resources and definitions
of the resources and users controlled by the servers)
o Administration of a domain
o Cross domain access of resources (that are in a domain other than
the domain logged on to by the user).
Supported combinations of logon and administration are defined
in Figure 1. The three domains addressed are those that consist of
PCLP Version 1.3 Servers, OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 (LS1.0), and
OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 (LS1.2). The requesters addressed are
the PCLP Extended Services (ES) Requester, OS/2 EE Version 1.1
(EE1.1) Requester, OS/2 EE Version 1.2 (EE1.2) Requester, and DOS LAN
Requester (DLR). An "X" in the figure indicates the stated function
(logon/administration) that is supported from the Full Screen
Interface. For example, a user can use a PCLP Requester to log on to
a domain consisting of OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 servers and access
all domain resources available to that user ID, but will not be able
to perform any administration tasks in that domain. Note that within
a domain only like server types may be defined.

Cross domain access of resources can be accomplished through
external resources definitions, which is a Full Screen Interface
function, through the use of appropriate APIs or by using explicit
NET SHARE and NET USE commands. Accessing external resources via
external resources definitions is defined in Figure 2. Specifically,
once a user has logged on to a domain, accessing resources in another
domain is supported through the external resource definition
function. For example, for an EE Version 1.1 user logged on to an
LS1.0 domain requiring access to resources in an LS1.2 domain, the
desired resource in the LS1.2 domain must be shared
In addition, the user ID and password or guest account must be
defined in the LS1.2 domain.

SERVER MIGRATION UTILITY FROM IBM PC LAN PROGRAM VERSION 1.3 AND OS/2
LAN SERVER VERSION 1.0: A Domain Control Data Base (DCDB) Migration
Utility is provided to assist in the migration from the DCDBs of the
PCLP Version 1.3 and the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 to the OS/2 LAN
Server Version 1.2. This Migration Utility provides a procedure for
migration and preserves the data integrity and consistency of the
definitions in the domain.
The Migration Utility consists of two logical parts -- an
Export Facility to export the data from the previous DCDB (PCLP
Version 1.3 or OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0) and an Import Facility to
import that data into the new OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 DCDB.
With the User Profile Management subsystem and access control
system security features of the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 in
combination with the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 Requester, there are changes
in the DCDB attributes and formats. This Migration Utility will
perform the mapping of attributes internally, providing transparent
operation to the user.
The definitions of the LAN objects, such as users, groups and
the access control profiles, are migrated by the utility. The
resources themselves, such as files and printers, need to be
physically migrated by the Network Administrator.
NATIONAL LANGUAGE SUPPORT: OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 is enabled
for single-byte character set (SBCS) and double-byte character set
(DBCS) translation with the exception of DLR, which is not DBCS
enabled.

TITLE OPERATING SYSTEM/2 ELECTRONIC DEVICE DRIVER DISTRIBUTION MECHANISM
ABSTRACT IBM announces a pilot Operating System/2 Electronic Device
Driver Distribution Mechanism. The new mechanism allows Operating
System/2 (TM) (OS/2 (R)) device drivers to be distributed
independently of any releases of OS/2.
This Device Driver Distribution Mechanism is intended to
complement the primary methods of device driver distribution, which
include incorporation of selected device drivers in OS/2 releases and
delivery of device drivers with the associated hardware devices.
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
Corporation.
OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
IBM announces a pilot OS/2 Electronic Device Driver
Distribution Mechanism that allows for the distribution of OS/2
device drivers independently of OS/2 releases. This mechanism is
designed to provide efficient distribution of OS/2 device drivers.
IBM plans to add new device drivers to the pilot program as
they become available.
OBTAINING AN OS/2 DEVICE DRIVER
ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION: For licensees of OS/2 with a modem that
supports 1200 baud or more, the Personal Computer User Group (PCUG)
has expanded its facilities to allow direct end-user access to the
device driver file sections. This system can be accessed at (404)
988-2790. The PCUG Support Bulletin Board contains the OS/2 device
drivers in a format suitable for downloading. The PCUG Support
Bulletin Board is available on a 24-hour basis to end users through a
toll call with no access charge.
Requirements for the asynchronous electronic connection to the
PCUG Support Bulletin Board are:
o Communication software capable of supporting XMODEM file transfer
protocols
o Switched telephone line.
The modem should be set to:
o Eight data bits
o One stop bit
o No parity
o Standard transmission speed from 1200 to 9600 baud.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRIBUTION: The objective of this pilot program is
that customers, with a modem supporting 1200 baud or more, may
benefit by obtaining new OS/2 device drivers via download from the
PCUG Bulletin Board.
Customers without the required modem should contact an IBM
Authorized Personal Computer Dealer or an IBM Authorized Industry
Remarketer.
Customers without the required modem for electronic
distribution and who have been unable to obtain an OS/2 device driver
from an Authorized Personal Computer Dealer or an IBM Authorized
Industry Remarketer may contact their IBM representative to obtain
available OS/2 device drivers.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This mechanism is a pilot program and may be discontinued at
the discretion of IBM. This pilot program is planned to include
selected device drivers for non-IBM hardware devices. These device
drivers are obtained by IBM from the hardware developer and are
included in the IBM distribution mechanism as a convenience to IBM
customers. Hardware developers remain responsible for their own
distribution of OS/2 device drivers for their hardware devices.
Inclusion of non-IBM device drivers in the IBM pilot program is not
intended as an endorsement of any non-IBM products.
IBM will not assure the compatibility or functionality of the
non-IBM device drivers or hardware devices with OS/2. The customer
should contact the hardware developer directly about the suitability
of the device drivers for the customer's equipment and requirements.
The initial offering for this pilot program is:
The IBM LaserPrinter (4019) device driver for IBM OS/2 Standard
Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.1 that supports multiple
graphic resolutions, multiple paper sources, font cards, and
downloaded fonts.
NOTE: The IBM LaserPrinter (4019) device driver for OS/2
Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.2 is contained
within OS/2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.2.
In addition, a generic Printer Control Language device driver
for OS/2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.2 that
supports printers compatible with the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet (1)
and LaserJet II series of printers will be available
January 31, 1990.
(1) Registered trademark of Hewlett-Packard Corporation.
Information regarding the installation of OS/2 device drivers
is contained in the OS/2 product documentation.
Customers may direct questions regarding this new delivery
mechanism, or existing device driver distribution methods, to their
IBM Authorized Personal Computer Dealer, IBM Authorized Industry
Remarketer, or IBM marketing representative.
The device drivers offered and this pilot method of
distribution may be modified or withdrawn at the discretion of IBM.

ORDERING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The device drivers are available under this pilot program only
to licensees of IBM OS/2. The customer is authorized to make one
copy of each device driver for each licensed copy of OS/2. The terms
and conditions for the device drivers will appear on the display
screen during installation for acceptance by the customer, and are
licensed to the customer under the provisions of the IBM Program
License Agreement applicable to the customer's copy of OS/2, with the
