- Hold it! Time out! Let's be careful to avoid a lot of confusion here.
- When Bill asks "Is *this* the same thing that's on ftp-os2" I assume
- he is talking about the service pack. If (*this* == "Service Pack")
- then the answer is "yes, the Service Pack that you can order from IBM
- is the same thing that's on ftp-os2". If (*this* == OS/2 2.1), then
- the answer is "no, OS/2 2.1 is not yet available anywhere".

- And this is the same Service Pack that is on ftp-os2.

-
- Nor does any other Service Pack that is currently available.
