- The $375 offer is for Workset/2. Workset/2 includes Workframe/2, Cset/2 and
- the OS/2 2.0 Toolkit (this has a separate name, I can't recall the exact
- wording at the moment). There may be a separate special offer for Workframe/2,
- the 4/6/93 date and $375 match the Workset/2 offering, I don't know about
- a special offer for Workframe/2.
