- I'm glad to see that OS/2 2.1 will now include specific language
- addressing this issue (at least according to the draft manual
- contained on the CD-ROM; has anyone else taken a look at this?).
-
- Specifically, you install such software just as you always did under
- Windows. Go to a Win-OS/2 session (full screen is convenient for me),
- and select File -> Run from the Program Manager menu. Then type in
- the name of the install program (e.g. A:INSTALL).
