- I'm almost positive that this is not true. As a matter of fact, I
- installed MMPM/2 the first time from the PDK CD, using the above
- mentioned driver. And it would be a bad idea to buy MMPM/2 now
- unless you're desparate for it, because all indications are that it
- will be included as part of OS/2 2.1.
