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:
o A CD Player allowing standard audio CDs to be played on a
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.
