- The Workplace Shell has gotten a lot faster (based on subjective
- assessments, anyway).
-
- Also, the Win-OS/2 File Manager is now in.
-
- Finally, there's always Norton Commander 1.0 for OS/2 -- now available
- at your favorite software dealer, or directly from Symantec for $99.

-
- Done. That's the plan. (CSDs will always exist, however -- some
- people insist on having the latest code.)
