- It is out, according to Infoworld. In fact, Corel has already issued
- a slipstream update (still called Version 2.5) which adds all those
- Windows utilities which were missing in the original release.
- (They've now been updated for native OS/2 use.)
-
- Apparently Version 2.5 is now equivalent to the Windows product in
- terms of the feature set (although the OS/2 implements threads, which
- the Windows version does not).
