DESCRIPTION
USER PRODUCTIVITY
PERFORMANCE: OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3 performs system
functions faster than OS/2 EE Version 1.2 in memory-constrained
environments. A memory-constrained environment is caused when
applications overcommit system memory and disk swapping is necessary.
For many applications the improved program load facility of
OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3 provides a performance enhancement
of two to three times faster than OS/2 EE Version 1.2 when loading
programs from LAN Servers to LAN Requesters. Enhancements for any
given application may vary outside this range. The performance is
influenced by the amount of code the application preloads at start-up
time.
The minimum memory requirement is reduced from 3.5MB to 3.0MB.
This minimum memory will allow a Communications Manager application,
such as Terminal Emulation or LAN Requester, to operate concurrently
with a DOS compatibility mode application.
Environments that require more than 3.0MB of memory include
use of the Database Manager, multiple communication protocols, or
large OS/2 applications. Users should ensure that they have the
capability to expand their memory beyond 3.0MB.
The Communications Manager Batch Configuration Utility used to
create, delete and modify profiles has been enhanced to add SNA
Gateway, and extend 3270 emulation, SNA/APPC, SDLC and LAN
environments. System administrators can take advantage of these
facilities to make configuration in the new areas more streamlined.
The Print Manager simplifies the installation of printers and
printer device drivers. It contains the interface to a new industry
standard Print Spooler that is fast, efficient, and which simplifies
printing over a local area network.
OS/2 installation now allows optional base operating system
functions to be selectively written to disk, which permits a
reduction in fixed disk requirements and allows additional fixed disk
space for user programs and data.
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
FUNCTIONALITY: OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3 includes Adobe Type
Manager and will be shipped with IBM's core set of fonts. Adobe Type
Manager accepts Adobe Type 1 outline fonts to provide high quality
typographical text in a full range of sizes and styles to all
supported printers and displays. This ability provides, "What You
See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG)" technology for OS/2 Presentation
Manager (PM) applications. Over 600 different typefaces available in
Adobe Type 1 Font format can now be used with OS/2.
The core fonts are:
o Times New Roman (2)
o Times New Roman Bold
o Times New Roman Italic
o Times New Roman Bold Italic
o Helvetica (3)
o Helvetica Bold
o Helvetica Italic
o Helvetica Bold Italic
o Courier
o Courier Bold
o Courier Italic
o Courier Bold Italic
o Symbol.
Adobe Type Manager requires no new application programming
interfaces and works with existing OS/2 applications that use
Presentation Manager outline fonts.
AVIO fonts are provided to allow a user to select a suitable
command line window font to match the system display.
The Communications Manager component of OS/2 EE has several
enhancements, including the ability for ACDI calls to be redirected
across a LAN. This ability allows OS/2 EE ASCII terminal emulation
users to use the modem and line pooling facilities of the IBM LAN
Asynchronous Connection Server Version 2.0. For more details, refer
to Programming Announcement 290-550, dated September 5, 1990.
Etherand LAN support for the LUA (LU 0, 1, 2 and 3) protocols
will help enable solutions for financial and other industry customers
that require the combination of LUA applications over etherand LANs.
3270 emulation users benefit from the additional AVIO display
fonts. A greater choice is available to match the application and
display environments, and to more fully utilize the entire screen.
OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3 has support for Type 2.1
(T2.1) Nodes. A workstation using OS/2 EE Version 1.3 can function
as a T2.1 node attached to another T2.1 node in the non-sub area
network environment. This workstation, when functioning as a
peripheral node, can communicate with an SNA sub-area network using
the T2.1 protocol if the proper levels of NCP and VTAM (TM) are used.
T2.1 node support allows parallel LU6.2 sessions.
The DOS Database Requester supports the IBM Token-Ring, IBM PC
Network, and Ethernet LAN environments. Either the LAN Server
Version 1.3 or the LAN Support Program are required for Ethernet LAN
support. The DOS Database Requester Workstation requires the
installation of the LAN Support Program Version 1.2 and DOS 3.3, or
later, to support the NETBIOS session used to communicate with the
OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager server.

ACCESS OF EXTERNAL RESOURCES ACROSS DOMAINS: Cross domain access of
resources can be accomplished through external resources definitions,
which is a full screen interface function, through the use of
appropriate APIs, or by using explicit NET SHARE and NET USE
commands. Once a user's ID and PASSWORD are validated, that user can
access resources outside of the logged-on domain provided the network
administrators have shared the resources and provided the appropriate
access permission.

Version 1.3 will be made by each OEM Ethernet LAN adapter
manufacturer and/or NSTL. NSTL has advised IBM that NSTL plans to
announce availability of this service fourth quarter of 1990.
Inquiries regarding the service should be directed to NSTL at
(215) 941-9600. NSTL certification of an OEM's NDIS-compliant
Ethernet LAN adapters is not meant in any way to constitute an
endorsement of the OEM's products by IBM, and IBM will not warrant or
provide technical or defect support for the claims made by such OEM
or NSTL.

MEMORY ESTIMATING WORKSHEET
The minimum memory requirement for an Operating System/2 mode only
environment is 3.0MB. This minimum memory will allow users in
Operating System/2 mode to execute a Communications Manager terminal
emulation application, and an application program, such as a
spreadsheet application comparable to existing IBM DOS applications.
Users should ensure that they have the capability to expand their
memory beyond 3.0MB. Environments likely to require incremental
memory include concurrent IBM DOS-mode applications, multiple
communications protocols, or concurrent communications and data base
applications. PS/2 Model 70 (8570) Models E61 and 121 and PS/2
Model 80 (8580) Models 111 and 311 use 128KB of memory for hardware
system use. Memory planning information is available in the
INFORMATION AND PLANNING GUIDE.
The attached worksheets can be used to help determine capacity
requirements for a particular OS/2 configuration.
To estimate memory requirements, add the recommended memory
size for the operating system base to the size for each installed
function and application, plus an allowance for user data buffer
requirements.
The numbers shown in the worksheets give the recommended
memory size in MB for concurrent operation of designated OS/2
functions. These numbers reflect the working set of the OS/2
functions listed, not the total size of all the code and data areas
that comprise the functions. The quantities shown assume an
acceptable degree of swapping. Refer to Memory Management Techniques
in the INFORMATION AND PLANNING GUIDE for a description of the method
used to develop these quantities.
The memory requirement is less if the user does not execute
all installed functions and applications concurrently. In that case,
the required memory size is the sum of the base operating system and
the particular functions and applications the user wishes to execute
concurrently, plus an allowance for user data. Using less than the
recommended memory size may increase the time to switch from one
function or application to another, reduce keystroke responsiveness,
reduce throughput, and increase the size of the swap data file
(identified in the fixed disk estimating worksheet).
FIXED DISK ESTIMATING WORKSHEET
A minimum of 30MB of fixed disk is required on one or more disk
drives. This will allow a user in Operating System/2 mode to execute
a Communications Manager application, and an application program,
such as a spreadsheet application comparable to existing IBM DOS
applications. Users should ensure that they have the capability to
expand their fixed disk beyond 30MB. In addition to space for
user-written programs and data files, some examples of environments
likely to increase disk requirements are concurrent installation of
the Communications and Database Managers, and the extent to which
execution of concurrent applications occurs (requires segment swap
areas). In these cases, users should ensure that they have the
capability to expand their fixed disk beyond 30MB. Fixed disk
planning information is provided in the INFORMATION AND PLANNING
GUIDE.
PACKAGING: OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3 will be shipped on
3.5-inch (1.44MB) dual-sided diskettes and 5.25-inch (1.2MB)
dual-sided diskettes.
SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL
Security features are the same as provided by OS/2 Extended
Edition Version 1.2.
User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.

applications whenever the DOS mode is in the background.
(2) This additional system memory allows better performance for
transient conditions such as program loading, program termination
and print spooling.
(3) If the 3270 connection is LAN, SDLC, or X.25 (that is, not a DFT
coaxial connection), also include APPC.
(4) APPC is a prerequisite for this function. (Add the APPC
recommended memory to the total only once.)
(5) Concurrent file transfer function requires 0.3MB for each
session.
(6) Additional memory for database buffer pool or sort heaps may be
required depending on the user's workload.
(7) Includes the necessary Database Services code. Communications
Manager Base and APPC are also required for Remote Data Services.
(8) Communications Manager base is a prerequisite for LAN Requester.
If the LAN Requester full screen panels are not used (that is,
only the command line interface is used) reduce the 0.4MB to
0.1MB.
(9) Depends on the installation parameters. Refer to the IBM OS/2
