- OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
- OS/2 2.1 provides all the benefits of OS/2 2.0 and goes
- further by delivering industry-standard device support, compliance
- with industry standards, enhanced standing as a premier client, and
- enhanced support for OS/2, DOS and Windows programs, now updated to
- include Windows 3.1 and multimedia programs. All the new features
- are delivered on top of a stable, mature platform "fit and finished"
- over time and in direct response to customer needs. Two widespread
- beta tests of OS/2 2.1 provided customer and software developer
- feedback into the development process.
- As the number of industry awards continues to multiply, and as
- customers, the press, consultants and industry analysts generate new
- praise for OS/2, it is clear that the market is ready for OS/2 2.1.
- WINDOWS 3.1 APPLICATIONS SUPPORT
- The OS/2 2.1 product provides a single environment from which the
- broadest range of PC applications -- OS/2, DOS, and Windows -- can be
- used and displayed simultaneously. Under OS/2 2.1, users now can run
- Windows 3.1 standard-mode applications, including Windows multimedia
- applications, and major enhanced-mode applications; i.e., Mathematica
- and OmniPage Professional, not requiring a specific type of device
- driver called a VxD. Performance is comparable to that of native
- Windows 3.1. Windows programs also benefit from the inherent
- protection provided by OS/2.
- Other enhancements in WIN-OS/2 (TM) include:
- o The ability to start OS/2 and DOS applications from within a
- Windows application
- o A new WIN-OS/2 Setup object allowing global configuration of all
- WIN-OS/2 sessions in the System Setup folder
- o Improved performance of cut-and-paste operations
- o Improved performance of Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
- o Addition of the Level 2.5 Adobe Type Manager (ATM) fonts
- providing an improved level of function and performance; True
- Type fonts are included as well.
- If users choose to install WIN-OS/, they also have the option
- of installing this portion of the OS/2 2.1 code on a drive other than
- the default drive. Since WIN-OS2 enabling requires about 8MB of
- space on the hard disk, this feature provides flexibility for users
- with limited disk space.
- WIN-OS/2 also has been enhanced in OS/2 2.1 to include the
- Windows 3.1 File Manager, the Windows 3.1 printer and display device
- drivers, and most Windows 3.1 accessories, including the following:
- o Calculator
- o Calendar
- o Character map
- o Media player
- o Notepad
- o Object packager
- o Paintbrush
- o Sound recorder
- o Write
- o Clock
- o Cardfile.
- OS/2 2.1 provides support for Windows applications with
- Object-Linking-and Embedding (OLE) capabilities if they run in the
- same WIN-OS/2 session. (The Windows Write and Paintbrush accessories
- delivered with WIN-OS2 are OLE-enabled). Users with limited disk
- space are given the option of installing the WIN-OS2 3.1 accessories.
- (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
- THE WORKPLACE SHELL (TM)
- In 1992, the availability of OS/2 2.0 set the standard for
- ease-of-use in the personal computer industry. In response to user
- requirements, the object-oriented Workplace Shell implemented in
- OS/2 2.0 is fine-tuned even further in OS/2 2.1.
- o The icon representing a folder object is used for all DOS,
- Windows and OS/2 program groups. These new container objects are
- created automatically when users choose to migrate their DOS,
- Windows and OS/2 programs.
- o The migration facility is improved so that users migrating from
- DOS, Windows, or OS/2 can retain their previous application
- environments with minimal manual intervention. The migration
- database now includes nearly 500 applications.
- o The Settings notebook menu page is enhanced to support drag and
- drop.
- o The visual appearance of notebooks is improved.
- o New graphic bitmaps are added to use as backgrounds for folders.
- (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
- 32-BIT DISPLAY DEVICE DRIVERS
- OS/2 2.1 now includes 32-bit device drivers for SVGA, 8514/A, XGA,
- XGA-2 and VGA display adapters. The new SVGA display device drivers
- support the most popular chipsets in the industry (Headland, ATI,
- Cirrus Logic, Trident, Tseng, Western Digital, and IBM). The SVGA,
- XGA, XGA-2 and 8514/A drivers support sessions running in the
- background and foreground, in full-screen and seamless modes, at
- resolutions of up to 1024x768, with support for up to 256 colors.
- Because of its design, OS/2 2.1 is enabled for new display
- device drivers to be added as they become available from IBM or third
- parties. IBM also is working with the manufacturers of other leading
- display adapters and independent software vendors to ensure that the
- accelerated display functions, such as those implemented on the S3
- 805 and 926 chipsets, are exploited under OS/2 2.1. These drivers
- will be distributed on bulletin board systems as they become
- available.
- SUPPORT FOR NEW PRINTERS
- OS/2 2.1 includes support for more than 260 printers, including the
- newest, high-speed printers, such as the following:
- o HP Laserjet 4
- o HP Deskjet 500 Series
- o HP Deskjet 550 Series
- o Epson and compatibles
- o Laserjet compatibles
- o PostScript printers.
- IBM has worked closely with leaders in the industry to make
- sure that OS/2 2.1 printer drivers are available. Installation of
- printer drivers is now easier to do. Users can modify the priority
- of jobs in the spooler in order to optimize printing performance.
- 32-BIT GRAPHICS ENGINE
- OS/2 2.1 delivers a 32-bit graphics engine that helps to improve the
- performance of 32-bit applications and display drivers. The Palette
- Manager, a transparent color mapping capability, and a pixel
- translation capability are new functions available to the application
- developer. Using the Palette Manager, applications have access to
- more than 256 colors to provide clearer and brighter images.
- Transparent color mapping allows one application to superimpose one
- image on another. Pixel translation enables high-speed color
- changes, shading and image brightening.
- Under OS/2 2.1, the 64K segment limitation is removed, and
- applications have access to up to 65,636 bitmap handles and up to
- 16,384 device context handles. These improvements result in
- productivity gains for application developers.
- 32-BIT MULTIMEDIA SUPPORT
- Multimedia Presentation Manager/2 (MMPM/2) Version 1.1 is now a
- separately installed feature packaged with OS/2 2.1. MMPM/2 enhances
- the functionality of the OS/2 system by adding digital and CD audio
- and software motion video playback capabilities (without additional
- hardware), which can be combined with traditional text and graphics.
- MMPM/2 takes advantage of the features of OS/2, including the
- ability to run multiple tasks concurrently, which is essential for
- synchronizing multiple data streams. And, the flat memory model
- implemented in OS/2 is key in handling multimedia data objects that
- can be many megabytes in size. Multimedia applications written to
- the Media Control Interface specification can rely on OS/2 2.1 to
- manage sharing of hardware devices.
- MMPM/2 supports the RIFF WAVE, INDEO, AVI, CD/DA and CD/XA
- industry-standard file formats and includes device drivers for
- leading audio adapters:
- o Creative Labs' family of SoundBlaster cards
- o Media Vision's ProAudio Spectrum 16 card
- o IBM's Capture and Playback Adapter (M-ACPA) card.
- Several new user interfaces are included as part of the MMPM/2
- enhancement to OS/2 2.1:

- personal computer.
- o A Digital Video Player allowing INDEO and Ultimotion digital
- video files to be displayed on a personal computer.
- o A Digital Audio Player allowing digitally recorded audio to be
- played back through a supported audio adapter.
- o System sounds and alerts for users of OS/2 2.1.
- o Lotus 1-2-3 and Excel macros, allowing users to annotate their
- spreadsheets with audio.
- o Multimedia enhancements to the REXX procedural language.
- The OS/2 2.1 product delivered on CD ROM also contains a
- collection of multimedia data files.
- ENHANCEMENTS FOR MOBILE COMPUTERS
- OS/2 2.1 supports the Level 2.0 Personal Computer Memory Card
- International Association (PCMCIA) specification for
- credit-card-sized adapter cards, such as memory, I/O devices, modems
- and LAN adapters. These adapter cards come with their own device
- drivers and configuration software and can be inserted or removed
- while the computer is powered on. OS/2 2.1 is enabled to support
- cards (memory, hardfiles, and communications) complying with Levels
- 1, 2 and 3 of the PCMCIA specification.
- OS/2 2.1 also complies with the Advanced Power Management
- (APM) specification, which reduces a personal computer's consumption
- of power and extends the life of the battery. This support is
- enabled automatically when OS/2 2.1 is installed on a system
- supporting the APM standard, and an APM object is displayed on the
- OS/2 Desktop.
- The implementation of a larger cursor in OS/2 2.1 than in
- OS/2 2.0 improves the visibility of the cursor on the screen for
- users of LCD displays.
- ENHANCED CD-ROM DRIVE SUPPORT
- OS/2 2.1 now can be installed from a CD-ROM drive, which saves time
- and improves the ease of installing the system. If a CD-ROM drive is
- attached to the system, a CD-ROM object will be displayed in the
- Drives folder.
- OS/2 2.1 supports SCSI-based CD-ROM drives, including Sony,
- Toshiba, Hitachi, IBM, Pioneer, Texel and NEC in combination with the
- most popular SCSI-based adapter drivers (Adaptec, Future Domain, IBM,
- DPT). The "pluggable" design enables additional SCSI and non-SCSI
- drives to be installed.
- OTHER OS/2 2.1 ENHANCEMENTS
- o The problem debugging facilities in OS/2 2.1 are enhanced to
- include the ability to log trap screens to the hardfile and
- initiate process-level dumps. Documentation is available on
- request.
- o OS/2 2.1 includes changes to exploit Intel's new Pentium chip.
- The first phase of this exploitation improves the performance of
- DOS sessions through the use of virtual mode extensions.
- o Each DOS session under OS/2 2.1 is now able to run DOS and
- Windows programs written to comply with the Microsoft CD-ROM
- Extensions (MSCDEX). OS/2 automatically handles the interface to
- the CD ROM drive so there is no longer a need to install an
- MSCDEX device driver.
- o OS/2 2.1 now supports a separate AUTOEXEC.BAT file for each DOS
- session.
- o OS/2 2.1 is enhanced to run as an excellent client when attached
- to an AS/400 (R) server using the PC Support Version 2, Release 3
- product.
- o For users who prefer a hardcopy manual, the OS/2 2.1 USING THE
- OPERATING SYSTEM manual has been expanded to include most of the
- information available online and also to provide useful tips and
- techniques for using the system.
