IBM ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR PURCHASERS OF THE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
KIT FOR OS/2 2.0
IBM believes the letter from Microsoft regarding the lack of key components
for the OS/2 2.0 software development kit from IBM is misleading and
inaccurate.
Since Microsoft is not providing the planned SDK releases, in order to not
further impede application development activity, IBM will make available a
Beta version of a similar set of development tools to current licensees of
the MS SDK at no charge. IBM will also evaluate a formal product offering
in this area. More information on this offering will be provided at a
later date.
Included in the beta offering are the following:
o IBM OS/2 2.0 Operating System (pre-release level 6.167 or later)
o IBM OS/2 2.0 Toolkit (pre-release level)
- Online documentation of API's, including base operating
system, Presentation Manager, Workplace Shell, and System
Object Model (SOM)
o IBM OS/2 2.0 C Set/2 (pre-release level)
- IBM 32-bit OS/2 C compiler
- IBM 32-bit OS/2 PM debugger
- Hardcopy documentation
o IBM Workframe/2 (pre-release level)
- Integrated development environment, including project control
capabilities
o Application Design Guide
o Other documentation from the OS/2 2.0 Technical Library that may
be ready
This offering is only available in 3.5" media. Organizations that
purchased multiple copies will receive a complete package from IBM for each
installation diskette they have. Those wishing to participate should send
the original installation diskette from their SDK along with company name,
contact name, and address to:
IBM Expedite Distribution Center -or-
P.O. Box 140435 8000 Shoal Creek Blvd.
Austin, TX 78714-9871 Austin, TX 78758
This offer is available until March 31, 1992.
Questions and comments about this offering can be address in Section 14 -
Early Code/Expedite in the IBMOS2 forum on CompuServe. A level of support
will be provided for this offering. Details will be provided with the Beta
package.
