I had a look through OS/2 PPC to see what it was made of.
The DOS is based on PC-DOS 6,30, and has REXX installed as well. There is a help command, which functions as the PC-DOS 7 help, but loads the OS/2 CMDREF instead. Although the rexx is similar to the PC-DOS 7 rexx, command.com will not run rexx.bat scripts like in 7.0 and 7.1. Unlike the intel version of OS/2, the DOS is pretty complete. It's in the various reviews I write on DOS as PC-DOS 6.32. (see http://www.os2fan2.com/files/pcdos.pdf )
The wallpapers are similar to the 3.0 set, but there are some 4.0 features in there, which is why I group it under 3.5 (3.1 is a version number i had reported by tcmdos2 under Warp Connect 3.)
OS2 PPC does indeed look like 3.0, iconwise, but since all the books on OS/2 Warp is 3.0 stuff, i see that even OS/2 4 server reverted to the 3.0 icons.
