- Well, you seem to have some terms confused, but the answer is yes.
- Microsoft Lan Manager runs on OS/2 1.3. IBM Lan Server can run on
- either OS/2 1.3 or OS/2 2.0. The Lan edition implements file and
- record locking so that multiple users can access the same database
- and indexes. The single user version has no provision for record
- locking, so only one person at a time can access the database.
