SERVICE PACK INFORMATION
------------------------

IBM has produced a Service Pack for OS/2 2.0 which contains the list of
fixes below plus an upgrade from the standard 16 bit graphics engine to
a 32-bit Graphics Engine.

The service pack is designed to be applied to OS/2 v2.0 as it was
released in April, 1992 (ie no private fixes applied).

Once the sevice pack is applied, the only way to get the system back to
original, XR02000, is to delete and reinstall OS/2 2.0.

The service pack can be ordered at 800-3-IBM-OS2 or can be downloaded
from IBM LINK OS/2 BBS, CIS, NSC BBS, INTERNET, IBM CANADA OS2BBS, and
other external sources. There are 14 HD 3.5" disks, so downloading may
be a problem.  If you decide to purchase the service pack for $24.95,
you will need a credit card when ordering.
