Submit an OS/2 Problem Report

This was a text form that was used to report OS/2 problems to IBM. It is useless now and it just saved here for historic reasons:  Note: there are 3 CIS id's for reporting problems listed at the end of this file.

-- Submit an OS/2 Problem Report  --

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << THIS SUPPORT IS ELIGIBLE FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS ONLY >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Customers should use this form to report a suspected OS/2 DEFECT to IBM support.

IBM employees should refer to the OS2DFECT FORUM in IBMPC for instructions on how to report an OS/2 defect.

If you have How-to or other questions about OS/2, please refer to these sources:

- The OS/2 on-line help and README. - If you have a CompuServe id, you may submit an item to the appropriate section within the forums under IBMOS2 (GO IBMOS2). - Many bulletin board systems contain user forums where OS/2 users share information and ideas on OS/2.

If you have Beta problems or suggestions, please refer to the bottom of this form for the proper reporting procedure. While we appreciate your input, we do not accept Beta problems through the Base defect or ES/LS support ID's. Customers with CompuServe ID's may report problems on CIS in IBM's  OS2SUPPORT forum, section 16, BETA PROGRAM '92. If you do NOT have a CIS ID, please send the feedback via Internet to the CIS address: 76711.175@compuserve.com

Please provide as much information as possible on your problem. Feel free to add additional space, or remove sections of the form that are not relevant to your problem.
