(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. DESCRIPTION OS/2 Extended Edition (EE) Version 1.2 is a participant in          SAA. OS/2 Standard Edition (SE) Version 1.2 is used as the base for OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.2. Therefore, OS/2 EE Version 1.2 benefits from the enhancements to OS/2 SE Version 1.2 described in          Programming Announcement 289-507, dated September 26, 1989. OS/2 EXTENDED EDITION VERSION 1.2 INSTALLATION ENHANCEMENTS All components of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 (OS/2 Standard Edition,          Communications Manager, Database Manager, and the LAN Requester) use a common install process. This new install process allows more flexibility in the choice of functions to be installed, the ability to disregard unwanted functions, and the ability to tailor the install process for other users. The OS/2 Communications Manager, Database Manager and LAN Requester may be installed on any logical fixed disk drive. Ease of installation of Communications Manager has been enhanced through the introduction of Basic Configuration Services and Batch Configuration support. Basic Configuration Services is          intended to assist an end user, who does not have the support of a           systems administrator and who is relatively inexperienced in           communications, to install the program and have it running for a           number of communications environments. Basic Configuration Services may be used for one or more of the following: o  3270 Emulation, directly connected via SDLC, LAN, or DFT o  5250 Workstation Feature connected via Twinax, SDLC, or LAN (Token-Ring only) o  ASCII Emulation to single host o  Database Manager's Remote Data Services configuration between one Database Requester and Server o  LAN Requester or Server. Basic Configuration Services may be supplemented with the previously available Advanced Configuration Services to cover other environments and additional Remote Data Services connections as          required. Batch Configuration support is designed to assist a systems administrator who is supervising the installation of many similar end users, such as members of a department or multiple branch offices. Basic or Advanced Configuration Services support is initially used to          establish an individual prototype configuration file that is           representative of the user set. The systems administrator then creates an ASCII file that contains the essential differences between individual end users. This file and the prototype file are processed by Batch Configuration support to build a configuration file for each user, which is used for subsequent installation. IBM PROCEDURES LANGUAGE 2/REXX An OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.2 user can utilize the integrated Procedures Language 2/REXX in three ways. First, it can be used to write command procedures and macros for OS/2 programs. Second, REXX may be used to write programs with embedded SQL statements to access data (stored) in the Database Manager. Third, REXX may used to write programs that call the Query Manager Callable Interface to access Query Manager functions and stored query and form objects. For example, from a REXX program, request the Query Manager to retrieve a stored query, run the query to access data in the Database Manager and format the query result using a default report form, or a pre-defined report form. INTERPRETER SERVICES APIS The Database Manager component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 provides a set of Interpreter Services APIs that allow application developers to use Database Services with languages that are not currently supported. In order to take advantage of these APIs, application developers must provide a routine that is functionally equivalent to          the Procedures Language 2/REXX RxVar routine as described in the IBM OS/2 PROCEDURES LANGUAGE 2/REXX REFERENCE MANUAL. This user-provided routine is used to transfer variable data between Database Services and the calling application. These APIs are intended for use in applications that would not normally use a precompiler, such as those written in an interpreted language. Information about these APIs will not be included in the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 library but will be available upon request from: IBM Corporation Entry Systems Division Department A50, Building 814 11400 Burnet Road Austin, TX 78758 LAN REQUESTER ENHANCEMENTS The LAN Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 requires the IBM OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 to be operational. This is a          revision to a statement contained in Programming Announcement 289-217, dated May 16, 1989, which could incorrectly imply that the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 LAN Requester will directly attach to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0. Direct attachment to OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 can be established by first logging onto a OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. For additional information, refer to OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 Programming Announcement 289-623, dated November 14, 1989. The LAN Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 has been enhanced to use the same User Profile Management (UPM) used by the other components of IBM OS/2 EE Version 1.2. For example, the same user ID and password can access resources controlled by either the Database Manager component or the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The LAN Requester is a participant in the Basic Configuration Services and Batch Configuration common install process. When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the LAN Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 will operate over Ethernet DIX Version 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 LANs (hereafter referred to as          Etherand LANs). This support is provided through the Communications Manager component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2, which uses the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) for these two additional LAN protocols. The supported Etherand LAN adapters are listed in the MACHINE REQUIREMENTS section. When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the LAN Requester component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 can take advantage of          additional support provided by the IBM OS/2 LAN API. Several new categories of APIs are supported, as well as additional calls to LAN API categories already supported by IBM's OS/2 EE Version 1.2 LAN Requester. These APIs give the application programmer a set of calls for LAN interprocess communications, network management, network messaging, shared resource management, security and network services. The API categories supported are: o  ACCESS PERMISSION:  Examine or modify user and group access permission records for server resources o  ALERT:  Notification of network events o  AUDITING:  Control the audit log file that contains an audit trail of server operations o  CONFIGURATION:  Retrieve network configuration information o  CONNECTION:  List of all connections made to a server by a               requester client, or all connections made to a server's shared resources o  DOMAIN:  Obtain domain-specific information o  ERROR LOGGING:  Control the error log file o  FILE:  Monitoring which file, device and pipe resources are opened on a server and closing one of the resources if necessary o  GROUP:  Control user groups in the User Accounts Subsystem o  HANDLE:  Get and set information on a per-handle basis o  MAILSLOT:  One-way interprocess communication o  MESSAGE:  Send, read, log, and forward messages o  NAMED PIPE:  Bi-directional interprocess communication o  REMOTE UTILITY:  Copy and move remote files, remotely execute a               program, and access the time-of-day information on a remote server o  REQUESTER:  Control the operation of requesters o  SERIAL DEVICE:  Control shared serial devices and their associated queues o  SERVER:  Enable remote administration tasks to be performed on a               local or remote server o  SERVICE:  Start and control network service programs o  SESSION:  Control network sessions established between requesters and servers o  SHARE:  Control shared resources o  SPOOLER:  Application access to spooler queue manager operations (NOTE: This API category replaces the PRINT API category               previously announced.) o  STATISTICS:  Retrieve and clear operational statistics for requesters o  USE:  Examine or control connections (uses) between requesters and servers o  USER:  Control a user's account in the User Account Subsystem For a complete list of the APIs supported by OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.2 Requester, refer to the IBM OS/2 LAN SERVER VERSION 1.2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (S01F-0256-00). COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER ENHANCEMENTS New functions within the Communications Manager allow OS/2 EE          applications to access host applications using LU0. These new functions will also allow: o  Communications support for LU0 terminal functions o  A migration path for LU0-based applications o  Workable replacements for LU0 based control units o  Base communications for LU1, 2, and 3 emulators (this is in               addition to the LU1, 2, 3, and 6.2 support previously announced). Communication is enabled through the use of two programming interfaces. The Session Level Interface (SLI) is a higher level data stream interface that will normally be used by customer applications. The SNA Request Unit Interface (RUI) is at a lower level and is          intended for system programming but is also available for customer use. Programming language support for both SLI and RUI include the C/2 (TM), COBOL/2 (TM), Pascal/2 and Macro Assembler/2 (TM) compilers. Collectively, SLI and RUI are referred to as Conventional LU Application (LUA). Links supported are X.25, Token-Ring Network, SDLC, and Personal Computer Network, either direct to a host or through an          OS/2 EE SNA gateway. The workstation is supported as an SNA secondary, dependent logical unit. EHLLAPI has been enhanced with new functions that may be used by applications in the Presentation Manager (TM) environment. These functions may be used by the application to manage the size and visibility of the 3270 emulation session windows. X.25 support does not require the use of a Packet Switched Data Network (PSDN). X.25 may be used between IBM systems and Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2 (R)) systems using supported compatible X.25 links, other than PSDN. VSE/SP V4 works with OS/2 EE Version 1.2 to support 3270 and ASCII file transfers. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. DATABASE MANAGER ENHANCEMENTS The Database Manager supports X.25 connectivity as provided by          the Communications Manager. This provides support for the Database Manager Remote Data Services, between OS/2 workstations connected to          an X.25 network. The SQL/QMF facility supports the download of data from DB/2 (TM) and SQL/DS, and has been enhanced to provide the ability to          specify automatic table creation and automatic import of data at the time the command is issued. The Query Manager menus and panels functions have been enhanced in the areas of screen definition and layout as well as          enabling the execution of panel actions from Query Manager procedures. This allows more flexibility in the design of custom applications. DOS COMPATIBILITY MODE ENHANCEMENTS Approximately 30KB of additional memory is available for DOS applications as compared to the same environment in OS/2 EE          Version 1.1. When IBM Token-Ring Network is used, approximately 65KB of additional memory is available for DOS applications. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.

(10) Applications/User dependent. To estimate memory requirements, add the recommended memory size for the operating system base to the size for each installed function and application, plus an allowance for user data buffer requirements. The numbers shown in the above worksheet give the recommended memory size in MB for concurrent operation of designated OS/2 (R) functions. These numbers reflect the working set of the OS/2 functions listed, not the total size of all the code and data areas that comprise the functions. The quantities shown assume an          acceptable degree of swapping. Refer to "Memory Management          Techniques" in the OS/2 INFORMATION AND PLANNING GUIDE for a           description of the method used to develop these quantities. The memory requirement is less if the user does not execute all installed functions and applications concurrently. In that case, the required memory size is the sum of the base operating system and the particular functions and applications the user wishes to execute concurrently, plus an allowance for user data. Using less than the recommended memory size may increase the time to switch from one function or application to another, reduce keystroke responsiveness, reduce throughput, and increase the size of the swap data file (identified in the following worksheet).

PRODNO      15F7138  OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 (3.5-inch) 15F7139 OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 (5.25-inch) OVERVIEW  HIGHLIGHTS o  The user is authorized, without additional payment to IBM, to               make and use up to 128 copies each of the DOS LAN Requester and LAN Support Program o  Support for the enhanced OS/2 EE Version 1.2 Requester o  Utilization of new and enhanced functions within the OS/2 EE               Version 1.2, including performance gains when using the High Performance File System o  Enhanced Access Control System for Server resources o  A new File Replication Service for automatically copying selected files o  Enhanced requester access to resources controlled by LAN Servers o  Server Migration Utility from PCLP Version 1.3 and OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 DESCRIPTION DOS LAN REQUESTER: The DOS LAN Requester (DLR) is the component of           the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 that allows IBM DOS Version 3.3 and IBM DOS Version 4.0 workstation users to access resources controlled by OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The DLR replaces the IBM PCLP Version 1.3 Extended Services requesters on a network domain when connected to OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The conversion from PCLP Version 1.3 to DLR is via a PCLP-like menu option. This option removes the PCLP Version 1.3 requester modules from the workstation and replaces them with DLR modules by downloading the DLR modules from OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. DLR provides enhancements over IBM's PCLP Version 1.3 in the areas of security, useability, random access memory (RAM) requirements and LAN Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The LAN Support Program Version 1.1 is included in the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 for use with each copy of the DLR. NOTE: Other IBM DOS products requiring the LAN Support Program Version 1.1 may use the LAN Support Program Version 1.1 included in          the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 when the DOS workstation also has the DLR installed. DLR requires a user to successfully logon to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 before access to any LAN resources are allowed. Validation of resource access is always determined by the logon user ID. DLR is granted access to resources of the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 using the same access control system as the OS/2 EE          Version 1.2 Requester. DLR useability allows the user the flexibility to perform network tasks, including logon, from both the Full Screen Interface and the Command Line Interface. Once logon is complete, a user may select one of eight color combinations for the DLR display panels. In addition, local applications can now be added to the DLR Application Selector. These local applications, which reside on the local machines' fixed disk drive, may also be defined in separate groups and referenced by a unique group name. There is a maximum of          eight user-defined unique group names available. From the two pre-defined application groups (LAN Services and Served Applications) and the user-defined groups, the user selects which group to make current. A list of the current group's applications is then displayed. RAM is available to DOS applications and can be increased by          approximately 10KB to 20KB when using DOS Version 3.3, and 25KB to           35KB when using DOS Version 4.0, versus comparable configurations provided by PCLP Version 1.3. This memory savings can be achieved by          using the first 64K segment of RAM above the 1MB address in IBM's           80286 or 80386-based machines equipped with extended memory. Or this memory savings can also be achieved when using IBM machines that use the IBM Expanded Memory Adapter with support for the Lotus, Intel, and Microsoft (2) (LIM) Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) Version 4.0 provided by DOS Version 4.0. Applications can be developed for the DLR that will utilize a          rich subset of the same API calls supported by the OS/2 LAN API. Most of the API categories defined and supported in the OS/2 EE          Version 1.2 LAN Requester and OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 will also be supported by the DLR. The API categories that are available to          applications running with the DLR are Access Permission, Auditing, Configuration, Connection, Domain, File, Group, Handle, Mailslot, Message, Named Pipe, Remote Utility, Requester, Serial Device, Server, Service, Session, Share, Statistics, Use and User. For a          complete list of APIs supported by DLR, refer to IBM OS/2 LAN SERVER VERSION 1.2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (S01F-0256-00). (2) Registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation. OS/2 EXTENDED EDITION VERSION 1.2 REQUESTER: The OS/2 LAN Requester component of the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 has been enhanced to use the same User Profile Management (UPM) used by other components of the OS/2 EE Version 1.2. As an example, the same user ID and password can access resources controlled by either the Database Manager component or the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. The OS/2 LAN Requester is a participant in the Basic Configuration Services and Batch Configuration common install processes with the other Communications Manager and Database Manager components of the OS/2 EE Version 1.2. These new install processes allow more flexibility in the choice of functions to be installed, the ability to remove unwanted functions, and the ability to tailor the install process for other users. The LAN Requester may be          installed on any logical fixed disk drive (that is, C, D or E). When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the OS/2 LAN Requester will operate over Ethernet DIX Version 2.0 and IEEE 802.3 LANs (Etherand (TM) LANs). This support is provided through the Communications Manager component of OS/2 EE Version 1.2 that uses the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) for these two additional LAN protocols. When logged on to the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, the OS/2 LAN Requester can take advantage of additional support provided by          the OS/2 LAN APIs. Several new categories of APIs will be supported, as well as additional calls to LAN API categories already announced as supported under OS/2 EE Version 1.2 LAN Requester. These APIs give the application programmer a set of calls for LAN interprocess communications, network management, network messaging, shared resource management, security and network services. API categories that are supported are: (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation o  ACCESS PERMISSION:  Examine or modify user and group access permission records for server resources o  ALERT:  Notification of network events o  AUDITING:  Control the audit log file that contains an audit trail of server operations o  CONFIGURATION:  Retrieve network configuration information o  CONNECTION:  List of all connections made to a server by a               requester client or all connections made to a server's shared resources o  DOMAIN:  Obtain domain-specific information o  ERROR LOGGING:  Control the error log file o  FILE:  Monitoring which file, device and pipe resources are opened on a server, and closing one of the resources if necessary o  GROUP:  Control user groups in the User Accounts Subsystem o  HANDLE:  Get and set information on a per-handle basis o  MAILSLOT:  One-way interprocess communication o  MESSAGE:  Send, read, log and forward messages o  NAMED PIPE:  Bi-directional interprocess communication o  REMOTE UTILITY:  Copy and move remote files, remotely execute a               program and access the time-of-day information on a remote server o  REQUESTER:  Control the operation of requesters o  SERIAL DEVICE:  Control shared serial devices and their associated queues o  SERVER:  Enable remote administration tasks to be performed on a               local or remote server o  SERVICE:  Start and control network service programs o  SESSION:  Control network sessions established between requesters and servers o  SHARE:  Control shared resources o  SPOOLER:  Application access to spooler queue manager operations (NOTE: This API category replaces the PRINT API category               previously announced.) o  STATISTICS:  Retrieve and clear operational statistics for requesters o  USE:  Examine or control connections (uses) between requesters and servers o  USER:  Control a user's account in the User Accounts Subsystem For a complete list of the APIs supported by the OS/2 EE          Version 1.2 Requester, refer to IBM OS/2 LAN SERVER VERSION 1.2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE (S01F-0256-00). UTILIZATION OF IBM OS/2 EE VERSION 1.2: OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 can take advantage of, and use features of, the new and enhanced OS/2 EE Version 1.2. These include the High Performance File System (HPFS). HPFS is an attractive alternative to the File Allocation Table (FAT) or FAT-based file system because it supports DASD with as          many as 16 partitions and can handle partitions as large as two gigabytes. The HPFS maintains compatibility with the FAT file system at the API level and is less performance sensitive as file sizes and/or directories become very large. The system installation procedure is used to install the HPFS. The OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2, when operating with the HFPS, will have improved performance over the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0, particularly for random operations. With the enhanced OS/2 EE Version 1.2, the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 can now support a total of up to 8,000 open files. This is an increase from the previous allowable maximum of 255 open files. ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SERVER RESOURCES: The access control system has been enhanced to provide a higher level of control over LAN Server resources than was available with OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0. The access control system provides a means to protect LAN Server resources based on permissions assigned to a user or          groups of users. No access is allowed to a server resource unless explicitly specified. The permissions available with OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 provide more granularity than available with the original OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0. The permissions are: NONE, EXECUTE, READ, WRITE, CREATE, DELETE, ATTRIBUTE and PERMISSION. NONE, EXECUTE and READ remain unchanged. READ and WRITE used in combination replace UPDATE. EXECUTE, READ, WRITE, CREATE, DELETE, ATTRIBUTE and PERMISSION replace ALTER. All permissions, except NONE, may be used in combination with any other. The Command Line Interface has also been enhanced to support management of the users, groups, aliases and access control profiles. Access management of resources across OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 domains has been simplified with the introduction of          guests. A guest account may be created for a domain. Whenever a          user tries to access a resource, such as an external alias, on a           domain where the user is not defined, the permissions associated with the guest account will be used. FILE REPLICATION SERVICE: The new File Replication Service provides the ability for an OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 to replicate all or          part of a directory tree over the LAN to either another machine running the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 or to a workstation machine running the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 Requester component. The replication service also allows for the replication of information locally, without use of the LAN, to provide a local duplication capability. The source of all replicated information is specified as a directory, with all associated subdirectories. Likewise, the target of all replicated information is another directory, with subdirectory structure matching the source. Each target can replicate only the directories that it requires. The source can set the level of          replication to either the entire tree or file by file. The OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 replication source checks for changes in the directories to be replicated at user-defined intervals and notifies target machines of any changes that occur during the intervals. The target machines then perform updates. REQUESTER ACCESS TO LAN SERVER RESOURCES: Any mix of OS/2 EE           Version 1.2 or Version 1.1, DLR, or PCLP Version 1.3 requesters may be active on a single OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2. (Refer to Figures          1 and 2). Refer to the PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS section below for factors that influence the practical limit of active workstations. The following describes the IBM requester access of server resources over a LAN. This description focuses on three specific areas: o  Logon to a domain (a domain is a logically defined server or               group of server machines including the resources and definitions               of the resources and users controlled by the servers) o  Administration of a domain o  Cross domain access of resources (that are in a domain other than               the domain logged on to by the user). Supported combinations of logon and administration are defined in Figure 1. The three domains addressed are those that consist of          PCLP Version 1.3 Servers, OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 (LS1.0), and OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 (LS1.2). The requesters addressed are the PCLP Extended Services (ES) Requester, OS/2 EE Version 1.1 (EE1.1) Requester, OS/2 EE Version 1.2 (EE1.2) Requester, and DOS LAN Requester (DLR). An "X" in the figure indicates the stated function (logon/administration) that is supported from the Full Screen Interface. For example, a user can use a PCLP Requester to log on to          a domain consisting of OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0 servers and access all domain resources available to that user ID, but will not be able to perform any administration tasks in that domain. Note that within a domain only like server types may be defined.

Accessing external resources via external resources definitions is defined in Figure 2. Specifically, once a user has logged on to a domain, accessing resources in another domain is supported through the external resource definition function. For example, for an EE Version 1.1 user logged on to an          LS1.0 domain requiring access to resources in an LS1.2 domain, the desired resource in the LS1.2 domain must be shared In addition, the user ID and password or guest account must be          defined in the LS1.2 domain.

This Migration Utility provides a procedure for migration and preserves the data integrity and consistency of the definitions in the domain. The Migration Utility consists of two logical parts -- an          Export Facility to export the data from the previous DCDB (PCLP           Version 1.3 or OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.0) and an Import Facility to           import that data into the new OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 DCDB. With the User Profile Management subsystem and access control system security features of the OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 in          combination with the OS/2 EE Version 1.2 Requester, there are changes in the DCDB attributes and formats. This Migration Utility will perform the mapping of attributes internally, providing transparent operation to the user. The definitions of the LAN objects, such as users, groups and the access control profiles, are migrated by the utility. The resources themselves, such as files and printers, need to be          physically migrated by the Network Administrator. NATIONAL LANGUAGE SUPPORT: OS/2 LAN Server Version 1.2 is enabled for single-byte character set (SBCS) and double-byte character set (DBCS) translation with the exception of DLR, which is not DBCS enabled.

The new mechanism allows Operating System/2 (TM) (OS/2 (R)) device drivers to be distributed independently of any releases of OS/2. This Device Driver Distribution Mechanism is intended to          complement the primary methods of device driver distribution, which include incorporation of selected device drivers in OS/2 releases and delivery of device drivers with the associated hardware devices. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. OVERVIEW  DESCRIPTION IBM announces a pilot OS/2 Electronic Device Driver Distribution Mechanism that allows for the distribution of OS/2 device drivers independently of OS/2 releases. This mechanism is          designed to provide efficient distribution of OS/2 device drivers. IBM plans to add new device drivers to the pilot program as          they become available. OBTAINING AN OS/2 DEVICE DRIVER ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION: For licensees of OS/2 with a modem that supports 1200 baud or more, the Personal Computer User Group (PCUG) has expanded its facilities to allow direct end-user access to the device driver file sections. This system can be accessed at (404) 988-2790. The PCUG Support Bulletin Board contains the OS/2 device drivers in a format suitable for downloading. The PCUG Support Bulletin Board is available on a 24-hour basis to end users through a          toll call with no access charge. Requirements for the asynchronous electronic connection to the PCUG Support Bulletin Board are: o  Communication software capable of supporting XMODEM file transfer protocols o  Switched telephone line. The modem should be set to: o  Eight data bits o  One stop bit o  No parity o  Standard transmission speed from 1200 to 9600 baud. SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRIBUTION: The objective of this pilot program is           that customers, with a modem supporting 1200 baud or more, may benefit by obtaining new OS/2 device drivers via download from the PCUG Bulletin Board. Customers without the required modem should contact an IBM Authorized Personal Computer Dealer or an IBM Authorized Industry Remarketer. Customers without the required modem for electronic distribution and who have been unable to obtain an OS/2 device driver from an Authorized Personal Computer Dealer or an IBM Authorized Industry Remarketer may contact their IBM representative to obtain available OS/2 device drivers. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This mechanism is a pilot program and may be discontinued at          the discretion of IBM. This pilot program is planned to include selected device drivers for non-IBM hardware devices. These device drivers are obtained by IBM from the hardware developer and are included in the IBM distribution mechanism as a convenience to IBM customers. Hardware developers remain responsible for their own distribution of OS/2 device drivers for their hardware devices. Inclusion of non-IBM device drivers in the IBM pilot program is not intended as an endorsement of any non-IBM products. IBM will not assure the compatibility or functionality of the non-IBM device drivers or hardware devices with OS/2. The customer should contact the hardware developer directly about the suitability of the device drivers for the customer's equipment and requirements. The initial offering for this pilot program is: The IBM LaserPrinter (4019) device driver for IBM OS/2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.1 that supports multiple graphic resolutions, multiple paper sources, font cards, and downloaded fonts. NOTE: The IBM LaserPrinter (4019) device driver for OS/2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.2 is contained within OS/2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.2. In addition, a generic Printer Control Language device driver for OS/2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition Versions 1.2 that supports printers compatible with the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet (1) and LaserJet II series of printers will be available January 31, 1990. (1) Registered trademark of Hewlett-Packard Corporation. Information regarding the installation of OS/2 device drivers is contained in the OS/2 product documentation. Customers may direct questions regarding this new delivery mechanism, or existing device driver distribution methods, to their IBM Authorized Personal Computer Dealer, IBM Authorized Industry Remarketer, or IBM marketing representative. The device drivers offered and this pilot method of          distribution may be modified or withdrawn at the discretion of IBM. CUSTINFO  SCHEDULE Planned Availability Dates: o  OS/2 Electronic Device Driver Distribution Mechanism -- November 17, 1989 o  IBM LaserPrinter (4019) device driver -- November 17, 1989 o  Generic Printer Control Language device driver -- January 31, 1990. ORDERING  TERMS AND CONDITIONS The device drivers are available under this pilot program only to licensees of IBM OS/2. The customer is authorized to make one copy of each device driver for each licensed copy of OS/2. The terms and conditions for the device drivers will appear on the display screen during installation for acceptance by the customer, and are licensed to the customer under the provisions of the IBM Program License Agreement applicable to the customer's copy of OS/2, with the following exceptions. IBM and non-IBM device drivers are provided under this pilot program "as is" without warranty of any kind. IBM Program Service is          not available for non-IBM device drivers. The customer should contact the hardware developer directly to determine whether any assistance or program service is available from the hardware developer for non-IBM device drivers.
