- Obviously not.
-
- You need the Novell OS/2 Workstation Kit. I've seen it available two
- places. One way to get it is to call 800-UPDATE1 and ask for it. The
- charge from Novell at that number is $30.
-
- IBM will charge $20 if you order it from them through IBM Direct
- (800-IBM-2-YOU).
-
- Both telephone numbers are for the United States. If you are outside
- the U.S., contact your local Novell or IBM office or dealer.
-
- Note that Novell may opt to release an update when OS/2 2.1 is
- released; it should be available near simultaneously with OS/2 2.1 if
- such an update is required. Just be aware that 2.1 is presently beta.
