- I got a FAX a few weeks ago from Wolfram. They said the OS/2 version
- is estimated to be available for Q2 or Q3 1993.
-
- Upgrades from DOS/Win 2.0 to DOS 2.1 (runs under OS/2) are $75. This
- may include an educational discount, I'm not sure!)
-
- It seems to be very confusing information comming from Wolfram. Here
- is the reply I got two days ago:
-
- >One of the most frequently asked question among some of our OS/2 2.0

- >an OS/2 versin of Mathematica. So I pass these question on to you:
-
- >1: Is it possible to run the current version of Mathematica under OS/2
- >2.0?
-
- You need to open an MS-DOS partition under OS/2. You will then be able to
- run the MS-DOS version V2.1 under this arrangement. The Windows version
- does not operate under OS/2.
-
- >2: When can we expect an OS/2 version of Mathematica?
-
- Wolfram Research currently has no plans for an OS/2 version. Perhaps if
- there is enough demand one day to justify porting the software to OS/2, we
- will re-consider.
-
- If you have additional questions, please let me know.
