OS/2 2.0 meets the needs of today's users who work in interconnected environments. OS/2 2.0 provides networking and client-server capabilities. Network servers, such as the IBM LAN Server and the Novell, Inc. NetWare server, are represented as objects on the OS/2 desktop, enabling users to access both local and remote resources with ease. When users need access, OS/2 2.0 prompts them for information, so they do not have to remember complex commands.
In addition, users do not have to assign drive letters or port names to use the resources on the network. From the OS/2 desktop, users can browse servers for shared resources, shared disks for files and applications, and shared printers to manage print jobs.
