- Paul,
-
- The upgrade rules depend on the country. In the USA, my understanding is
- that non-IBM OS/2s don't get free upgrades, but are eligible for the DOS
- upgrade price. Try the 1-800 number again, and if you have further problems
- (such as they won't accept it at all), send me EMAIL and I'll see what I can
- do from this side.
