DESCRIPTION
The 3172 Model 3 with OS/2 Warp Connect installed continues the
tradition of providing enhancement capabilities to our customers.
IBM OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3 provides full 32-bit OS/2 and DOS,
software support, enabling users to take full advantage of the power
of their 3172 Model 3 while preserving their investment in
application programs.
The following OS/2 Warp Connect products are contained on the 3172
preloaded hardfile:
o OS/2 Warp Version 3.0
o TCP/IP for OS/2 Version 3.0 -- provides a replacement for IBM
TCP/IP Version 2.0 Base Kit.
OS/2 Warp Version 3.0: OS/2 Warp Version 3 is the follow-on release
to OS/2 Version 2.1. It represents IBM's continuing effort to
enhance this award winning operating system to appeal to a much
broader segment of the networking environment. OS/2 Warp has
simplified installation, enhanced usability, a refined user
interface, improved "fit and finish" and has been performance tuned.
OS/2 Warp Version 3 ships with all the support necessary to run OS/2,
and DOS programs.
The new LaunchPad is a customizable tool bar on the desktop that
allows access to any object on the system with a single mouse click.
The LaunchPad can be in either vertical or horizontal orientation or
be set to float to the top of the DeskTop. The user can add their
most frequently used objects to the LaunchPad, or any object on the
system and access them or switch between open objects with a single
mouse click.
TCP/IP for OS/2 Version 3.0: TCP/IP for OS/2 Version 3.0 combines
all of the industrial strength TCP/IP functionality of the popular
Version 2.0 product. Users of TCP/IP for OS/2 Version 3.0 can now
enjoy simultaneous LAN-based TCP/IP connectivity. TCP/IP Version 3.0
for OS/2 is not sold separately. It has been included in the OS/2
Warp Connect to provide even greater value to the customer.
