Explanation of names of zipped files for 1993 Issue 7 and later:

DSNymA = Developer Support News 199y issue m ASCII (plain-text) DSNymI = Developer Support News 199y issue m .INF (use OS/2 VIEW) DSNymP = Developer Support News 199y issue m .PS  (PostScript)

where y = last digit of year (3, 4, ...) m = issue number represented as alpha (A=1, ..., G=7, H=8, ...)

For example, DSN3GI is 1993 issue 7, the 15 October issue, in .INF format (after being unzipped).

The zipped files are found on several e-mail and BBS systems:

o America Online, in the OS/2 forum, in the Newsletters library o CompuServe, in OS2DF2 forum, *DAP library section 14 and in OS2DF1 forum, OPEN FORUM library section 15 o GEnie, in OS/2 Software Library 16 o Hitline mailbox (Switzerland), in file area 8 o IBM Canada BBS, in file area 35, OS/2 Programming o IBM Europe/Middle East/Africa (E/ME/A) DAP BBS, in file area GENERAL.DOCS o IBM France OS/2 Developer Assistance Program BBS, in area PUBS01 o IBM OS2BBS (TALKLink), in OS/2 Software Library, in Documents and Info o IBM Personal Computer Company BBS, in file area 11, OS/2 Programming o Internet, via anonymous ftp from software.watson.ibm.com, in   directory /pub/os2/info; or via Gopher from index.almaden.ibm.com, in the OS/2 Information menu o NIFTY-Serve (Japan), in FIBMFEEL forum, library section 4 o OS2NET (Europe), on all OS2NET bulletin boards in Europe, usually in   the DSNEWS download area o PRODIGY, in the OS/2 Club topic's download library, in IBM Files
