- Umm... Not really. The 2.1 beta SDK only has OS/2 2.1 and a beta of the toolkit
- (Including kernel debugger etc).
-
- There is also available the Dec PDK (In US Its the Nov PDK, for some

- This CD holds everything. CSet/2 C++, Toolkit, Utils, Applets, Workframe,

- debugger), and lots lots more. Oh yeah Almost full online docs including
- BookManager/2 needed to read it.
