- In addition to the November PDK, IBM also has what the person at 800-3IBM-OS2
- called the AT&T developers kit. It cost $25(U.S.). She also told me that
- it included the C/C++ compiler and development tools. Beyond that she
- didn't know much. I went ahead and ordered it though. I was told that it would
- be here within a week. Does anyone know what I bought?
