DESCRIPTION
OS/2 2.0 is positioned by IBM as the "integrating platform"
for the industry. The capability to run DOS, Windows and OS/2 1.3 SE
applications concurrently rather than individually (separately) in
terms of usability, integrity, and equal or better performance, makes
OS/2 2.0 an excellent choice for 386SX and higher-based personal
computers.
PERFORMANCE: OS/2 2.0 performance is enhanced by improved file
system drivers, a new flat memory model, the new Workplace Shell and
improved 32-bit Procedures Language/2 REXX. These improvements
provide a more productive user environment while increasing
throughput. Performance considerations are addressed in the OS/2 2.0
Installation and Planning Guide. However, generally speaking the
typical user can expect:
o Equivalent or better 16-bit application performance than OS/2 1.3
SE
o 32-bit application performance superior to 16-bit versions
o DOS application performance equivalent to DOS 5.0 for single
applications
o Overall system performance better than OS/2 1.3.
OS/2 SE 1.X applications that convert to 32-bit will
experience performance benefits up to 45%.
DOS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY: OS/2 2.0 provides support to run up
to 240 concurrent DOS sessions. These applications may be windowed
or full screen, graphics or text, and execute in foreground or
background. A cut and paste capability is provided to enable easy
transfer of text or graphics between applications. Each DOS session
will have greater than 630KB of memory, plus 32MB of Expanded Memory
Specification (EMS) 4.0 memory and 16MB of Extended Memory
Specification (XMS) memory available to the application. For
applications written to the DOS Protect Mode Interface (DPMI)
specification, up to 512MB of virtual memory can be allocated per
application depending upon available disk space.
The operating system is protected from each DOS application
running in a Virtual DOS Session, and each Virtual DOS Session is
protected from other applications. In this way, greater stability is
achieved for the user; if one application fails, it does not take the
entire system down.
OS/2 2.0 provides the capability to boot a specific version of
DOS (for example, PC DOS 5.0 or Digital Research DOS 6.0) in a
Virtual DOS Session for applications that require a specific DOS
version. The DOS properties function provides the capability to
customize the Virtual DOS Session to the needs of the application,
such as loading device drivers, performance tuning and version
checking. The only DOS applications not supported are those
requiring Virtual Control Program Interface (VCPI) and other non-DPMI
DOS extenders, and highly timing-dependent applications such as
realtime applications.
WINDOWS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY: OS/2 2.0 can run Windows 2.0 and
3.0 applications off the shelf, without any required modifications.
With OS/2, these applications run with preemptive multitasking
(instead of cooperative multitasking) enabling a smoother system
operation. The operating system is protected from these applications
and the applications from each other. Unrecoverable Application
Errors (UAE) do not require a system reboot in the OS/2 2.0
environment.
OS/2 2.0 provides the capability to start windows applications
from the OS/2 Workplace end-user interface. The ability to move
graphics or text between Windows, Presentation Manager (R) and DOS
applications is supported through cut and paste. Dynamic Data
Exchange (DDE) is supported between Windows applications and between
Windows and Presentation Manager applications. Object Linking and
Embedding (OLE) is supported between Windows applications running in
the same Virtual DOS Session. The user also has the option of
running Windows in a Virtual DOS Session.
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
Corporation.
OS/2 SE 16-BIT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY: OS/2 SE 1.X applications
written to documented interfaces run unmodified on OS/2 2.0 with
equal to, or better, performance. The performance benefits are
derived from faster file systems and better memory management.
MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION ENABLING: OS/2 2.0 has been designed to fully
support the needs of multimedia applications that utilize multimedia
extensions. Fast threads supply the necessary high speed task
switching required by multimedia applications. The Data Stream
Manager enables the integration of multiple data streams, such as
audio, video, text and control sequences. Transparency Color Mapping
allows the overlaying of images and capability to see through one.
The Palette Manager provides applications with a high degree of color
control, and the CD-ROM Virtual Device Driver enables the balanced
use of the CD-ROM drive among Virtual DOS Session applications, OS/2
applications and Windows applications.
32-BIT APPLICATION ENABLING: OS/2 2.0 allows application developers
to create applications that exploit the Intel 32-bit architecture.
These capabilities include:
o 32-bit instructions and data addressing
o Flat memory model capable of supporting programs having address
spaces as large as 512MB
o Necessary interrupt and task switching managers to accommodate
32-bit save/restore operations
o Enhanced 32-bit loader
o Appropriate commands and utilities for application developers to
use 32-bit programs.
OS/2 2.0 includes support for the Intel 80387 floating point
coprocessor and provides a high performance emulation mode when the
80387 is absent.
PC MANUFACTURERS' INFORMATION: OS/2 2.0 has been designed to run
unmodified on PC manufacturers' 386SX and higher hardware platforms.
Information regarding systems tested will be provided via online data
bases in the first quarter of 1992.
NEW OS/2 WORKPLACE SHELL: The Workplace Shell implements the latest
level of Common User Access (TM) (CUA (TM)). It is built on
Presentation Manager and around the notion of objects, and represents
a significant step forward in the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Desktop. It is designed around a single container or interface to
enable the user to manage multiple types of objects:
o Programs
o Files
o Printers and drives (for example, devices).
The OS/2 Workplace Shell significantly enhances the usability
of OS/2 by providing a task-oriented, easily configurable environment
that eliminates the need for users to learn a complex operating
system environment. Each defined printer or attached drive is a
separate icon. These icons can be arranged at will on the desktop or
can be arranged in separate windows. The user interacts with these
objects using a well-defined drag and drop protocol that enables easy
manipulation of the object without the need for knowledge of files
and directories.
The Workplace Shell contains support that enables applications
to be integrated with it. Actions on objects associated with the
shell derives their behavior from the application, not the operating
system.
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
CLIENT/SERVER PLATFORM: The Workplace Shell enables utilization of
the LAN environment. In conjunction with the appropriate network
software products, OS/2 2.0 supports various network requestors
simultaneously, such as IBM and Novell. The interfaces that allow
developers to write network independent applications will be
available from IBM. OS/2 2.0 supports remote IPL, with or without
local media and, through its installable file system, provides the
capability to support high performance server file systems.
ENHANCED SYSTEM INSTALLATION: The new graphical install function
provides an easy installation process through the use of colors,
icons, progress indicator and status information. A tutorial is
included for users unfamiliar with the mouse. A selective
installation process enables the user to install only needed
functions, thereby reducing fixed disk requirements. Two preselected
install options are available. One installs preselected options
appropriate for most users; a second option installs the entire
system. Both of these preselected options reduce the number of
selections required of the user during install. The new installation
program is enabled to install OS/2 2.0 from any logical drive,
including a LAN. It is further enabled to install remotely if the
appropriate LAN server and client software are available.
Installation options can be preselected via a "response file,"
which automatically answers any questions, enabling a user-friendly
system installation. The installation facility registers with the
Workplace Shell any DOS, Windows or OS/2 applications found on the
fixed disk during installation, enabling application start-up by
double clicking the pointing device on the respective icon.
SYSTEMS APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE (R) ENVIRONMENT: OS/2 2.0 is the
SAA (TM) environment for the workstation. It replaces OS/2 Extended
Edition Version 1.X. OS/2 2.0 fully implements the SAA Common
Programming Interface (CPI) Presentation Interface, including
extensions for CUA 91. Programs written in OS/2 C Set Version 1.0
can call the SAA Presentation Interface using the SAA-defined
language bindings. OS/2 2.0 fully implements the SAA CPI Procedures
Language Interface, Level 2. The Workplace Shell enables the
object-based style of the enhanced SAA CUA architecture (CUA 91).
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
Corporation.
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
PROCEDURES LANGUAGE/2 REXX: A new, 32-bit Procedures Language/2 REXX
is included with OS/2 2.0. It is significantly faster than the
previous 16-bit version shipped in OS/2 1.3 and includes online
documentation. New REXX utilities functions provide better access to
system services such as the Workplace Shell.
NEW DEVICE SUPPORT: Many new hardware devices are supported. Refer
to the SPECIFIED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, MACHINE REQUIREMENTS section
for a complete list.

Planner.
o Entertainment
- Presentation Manager Chess, Klondike -- Solitaire, Jigsaw,
Cat and Mouse, Scramble, and Reversi.
INFORMATION PRESENTATION FACILITY: The Information Presentation
Facility (IPF) drives the OS/2 tutorial, the online contextual help,
and other online information. The IPF has been enhanced, providing
new functional capabilities and enhanced ease of use. More than one
window can be displayed at a time, allowing users to selectively view
related text and graphics. Users can bring information from multiple
data bases into view by simply selecting hypertext links. With
enhanced performance, users can quickly search across data bases for
key words and phrases. Data is formatted dynamically as users move
and resize windows. A master help index allows users to locate and
retrieve information supporting the system from a single source.
ENHANCED SUPPORT OFFERINGS:
