Hi

. .. .

In simple words, any Univesity student can request their teacher to download OS/2 Warp 4.52 and provide it to the student, while he is investigating the OS or making homeworks.

Right, but unfortunately, except for SmartSuite, nothing else is available. I repeatedly asked IBM to make their OS/2 compilers (VisualAge series) available for  students on Academic Initiative, and they never did it... I wonder what is the use of the VA distributed debugger if you have nothing to debug...

Hi Glen

I think IBM do not make their OS/2 compilers available for  students on Academic Initiative since they are abandoware now. But possible students can get the gcc compiler or even the Java tools to develop under OS/2.

There is no OS/2 mention of documentation on the site.

The only thing available are the files for download. (under the websphere brand). If you a are a teacher and you have access to it, just search for the "warp" word when searching on the download files area.

There was an Academic version of VisualAgeC++ 4.00 sold by Mensys some time ago. 10€ if I remember correctly. Maybe the have some licenses left if you ask...
