- Call the standard 1-800-3-IBMOS2 number, ask for the PDK CDROM, answer
- questions, decide whether to get just the CD ($15) or CD plus the
- $10 diskette [this seems outrageously priced in comparison, dunnit?]
- with the AT&T Class Libs - about 100k of header files, but needed for
- C++ compiler experimentation; you decide if you need it.
-
- There is a tremendous variety of software on the CD, and it does
- essentially include a beta of OS2 2.1, or whatever they decide to label
- it at release - that is, there is OS2 with Win3.1 support, but it is
- not the latest version of the beta, the IBM internal version which
- apparently has some improvements. The CD version is newer than the
- previous WinOS23.1 beta's, however, so it should be more workable.
-
- It also contains the Service Pack, in both 3.5 and 5.25 disk image
- form, so you can set up several combinations of OS2 2.x and see
- which works best, or, perhaps, which can crash hardest :-)
