IBM's application development tools

IBM Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 2.0, and IBM WorkFrame/2 - are available at the same time as OS/2 2.0. IBM C Set/2 follows one week later. These IBM application development tools give you access to the powerful programming interfaces in OS/2 2.0 and enable you to develop high performance 32-bit applications that fully participate in the OS/2 Workplace Shell. You'll find IBM OS/2 2.0 is a superior platform for all your development environments.

Microsoft began offering an OS/2 2.0 SDK for $2600 in December 1989. This offering included pre-release versions of MS OS/2 2.0, MS tools and MS language products followed by retail versions of each of the products in their final form. When Microsoft discontinued their OS/2 2.0 SDK in October 1991, without delivering the retail versions, MS SDK developers had to change their development environment. Many of these developers chose to accept IBM's offer of a no-charge program of pre-release versions of IBM OS/2 2.0, IBM Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 2.0, IBM WorkFrame/2 and IBM C Set/2. We've heard from several of these developers that they have successfully changed environments and have great new 32-bit apps in the works.

Now that the retail versions of the IBM products are generally available, for a limited time IBM will offer OS/2 2.0 and the IBM development tools - Developer's Toolkit, WorkFrame/2 and C Set/2 - to licensees of the Microsoft OS/2 2.0 SDK for only $295, including shipping and handling. To participate in this program, send the system installation diskette from the most recent release (pre-release 3) of the MS OS/2 2.0 SDK to: IBM (Attn. M. Barovich - Zip 1620) 1000 NW 51st St, Boca Raton FL 33432. You will be informed by letter of your acceptance in this program. This offer ends June 30, 1992. This offer is U.S. only; customers in other countries should ask their IBM representative for information and developer assistance. In Europe, the IBM contact for developer assistance is Albert Kleyn (44-256-56144); in Canada, it is Ken Fadelle (416-946-3786); in Australia, call the Direct Market Centre at 008-028-211.

Licensees of the SDK who have already participated in IBM's pre-release code program by submitting their MS OS/2 2.0 diskette will be notified of this offer by letter at the close of the pre-release code program (March 31, 1991).

The OS/2 2.0 Technical Library is available on March 31 for $299. Each of the 17 books in the library can be purchased separately. An order form is in the Toolkit.
