          Description
          Business Solutions
          In  addition  to all previously announced function, IBM Operating
          System /  2  Standard  Edition  Version  1.3  provides  increased
          performance  over  OS/2 SE 1.2. IBM Operating System / 2 Standard
          Edition Version 1.3 is significantly faster than OS/2 SE  1.2  in
          memory  constrained  environments.  (A  memory-  constrained
          environment is caused when applications overcommit system  memory
          and disk swapping occurs).
          The  minimum  system  storage required to operate OS/2, including
          the DOS compatibility mode, has been reduced from 2.5MB to 2.0MB.
          This reduction will allow many PS/2 (TM1) systems to use the true
          multitasking of IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version
          1.3 without additional storage.
          Note: 2.5Mb or greater system memory and a 60Mb or greater  fixed
          disk partition, are recommended for use with the high performance
          file system.
            A new selectable install utility allows IBM Operating System / 2
          Standard  Edition  Version  1.3  to  install  in  less fixed disk
          storage than OS/2 SE 1.2, freeing more space  for user  programs
          and  data.  The smallest install will require approximately 8.0MB
          of hard file space and the full install 11.0MB on a  system  with
          at least 4Mb of system memory.
          Growth Enablement
          IBM  Operating  System  / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 includes
          Adobe Type Manager and will be shipped with  IBM's  core  set  of
          fonts.  Adobe  Type Manager accepts Adobe Type 1 outline fonts to
          provide high quality typographic text in a full  range  of sizes
          and  styles  to  all  IBM  Operating  System / 2 Standard Edition
          Version 1.3 supported printers and displays, providing "What  You
          See  Is  What You Get" (WYSIWYG) technology for OS/2 Presentation
          Manager  (PM)  applications.    Over  600  different  typefaces
          available in Adobe Type 1 Font format can now be used with OS/2.


          The  thirteen  core  fonts included with IBM Operating System / 2
Title
          Standard Edition Version 1.3 are:
                Times New Roman (R1)
                Times New Roman Bold
                Times New Roman Italic
                Times New Roman Bold Italic
                Helvetica (TM2)
                Helvetica Bold
                Helvetica Italic
                Helvetica Bold Italic
                Courier
                Courier Bold
                Courier Italic
                Courier Bold Italic
                Symbol
          Adobe  Type  Manager  requires  no  new  application  programming
          interfaces and works with existing  OS/2  applications  that  use
          Presentation  Manager  Outline  Fonts.  IBM  Operating System / 2
          Standard Edition Version 1.3 will support additional vendor  font
          rendering  technologies  developed  for  use  with  IBM Operating
          System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3
          IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition  Version  1.3  includes
          Procedures  Language  2/REXX  (REXX).  REXX  is  an easy to learn
          language designed  to  aid  the  writing  of  clear,  structured,
          interpreted  procedures.  REXX  can provide the data manipulation
          and procedural logic framework for OS/2 commands and conventional
          calls to other high-level languages and CMD programs.
          The REXX interpreter implements both the SAA level 1 and the  SAA
          level  2  definition  of Procedures Language. Because of this, it
          provides a more  portable  procedural  alternative  to  OS/2  CMD
          programming,  thus  reducing the programming investment for users
          who  require  applications  which  execute  in  several  SAA
          environments. REXX helps protect programming investment for users
          who  have  already  developed  REXX  procedures  for  other  SAA
          environments. REXX was  previously  available  in  OS/2  Extended
          Edition Version 1.2
          REXX  also  has  a rich repertoire of arithmetic, string handling
          and logic operations which can be interpreted by OS/2. Users  may
          use  REXX  as  a  personal computing language without requiring a
          compiler. The extended repertoire in this interpreter can enhance
          programmer productivity. REXX may  also  be  used  to  extend  an
          application  by  creating  macros  which  have  a  mix  of  REXX
          instructions,  application  specific  instructions  and  OS/2
          commands.
          The  limit  on  the number of active Presentation Manager windows
          has been increased 10-20 times over the IBM Operating System /  2
          Standard Edition Version 1.2 in the same environment.


          IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 remains
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3.
          fully compatible with existing and new OS/2 capable  systems  and
IBM Operating System/2 Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3
          applications.
*5601-090
          IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 provides a
*5601-091
          new, faster and more efficient print spooler.  Also available  is
*5775-AC1
          a  new API which allows applications to configure the spooler for
*5775-AD9
          their specific needs without requiring user interaction with  the
          Print Manager.
          Users  can now elect to install and configure their printer setup
          at system install time. The install procedure with user prompting
          creates the appropriate Print Manager configuration.
          Enhanced printer drivers for both IBM and  non-IBM  printers  are
          provided  which will support a wide range of user and application
          environments. These are as follows:-
              A new IBM Proprinter (R2) driver which provides  support  for
              multiple  graphics  resolutions,  multiple  paper sources and
              downloading  of  code  pages  (with  additional  memory).  By
              supporting resident printer fonts this driver has significant
              performance improvements for text.
              An improved HP Laserjet (TM3) Printer Driver for the Laserjet
              series  of  printers,  supports  a variety of fonts including
              resident  fonts,  cartridge  fonts  and  downloadable  fonts.
              Significant performance improvements can be obtained by using
              device fonts.
              A  device  driver  which  supports current Epson 9 and 24 pin
              dot-matrix printers. The printer type is selected by model or
              from generic options.
              A Postscript (TM4) device driver supporting numerous specific
              Postscript printers and generic support for other  Postscript
              printers.    It  also  provides the ability to download Adobe
              format fonts to give synergy with the new Adobe font support.
          A Queue Driver for use  specifically  in  plotting  is  provided,
          which  improves  the  appearance  of pictures spooled to a vector
          plotter by reverse clipping the data. Hidden lines  and  patterns
          are  removed from solid objects that overlap, resulting in a more
          accurate hard copy of the screen image.
          IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition  Version  1.3  provides
          new  text  window  fonts,  which allow the user to tailor command
          line window text to preference.  This can  display  more  usable
          information  in  the  same  area or make the original information
          easier to read.
          New Program Properties functions  allow  the  user  to  define  a
          working  set  of  applications  that  start  up  at  boot  time,
          eliminating the need for STARTUP.CMD and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.


          IBM Operating System / Standard Edition Version 1.3 has

          Programming  Requirements:    An  application  developer  should
          purchase  the  IBM  Programming  Tools  and Information  Version
          1.2/1.3.    The  IBM  Programming  Tools  and Information Version
          1.2/1.3  is  required  to  create  an  IBM  Operating  System/2
          application using  either  the  Presentation  Manager  or Dialog
          Manager The IBM Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3
          requires IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 or
          IBM Operating  System  /  2  Standard  Edition  Version  1.3  and
          accompanying manuals.
          Compatibility:  With the following exceptions, programs designed
          to run under IBM Operating System / 2  Standard  Edition  Version
          1.2  will  run  under  IBM  Operating System / 2 Standard Edition
          Version 1.3 and do not need to be reinstalled.
              Note: Customers who have compiled programs using IBM FORTRAN/2
              Version 1.00 or 1.01, that are to  be  run  on  IBM  Operating
              System  / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3, must get maintenance
              level 1.02 or higher of  IBM  FORTRAN/2  and  recompile  their
              programs to ensure proper function and correct results.
          If  the  application  uses  certain  subsystem  functions such as
          physical video buffer access, registering of subsystem functions,
          or character device monitors, it will be required  to  run  in  a
          full-screen  OS/2  session.  Otherwise,  the  application  can be
          windowed by  specifying  it  as  "Run  in  a  text  window"  when
          installing the application under the OS/2 Presentation Manager.
          Depending  on  the  programming  language  used  to  develop
          applications, some capabilities  of  IBM  Operating  System  /  2
          Standard  Edition Version 1.3 may not be possible to implement in
          an application.
          IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version  1.3  does  not
          support the SYS utility or the /s option of the FORMAT command.
          The  BACKUP  and  RESTORE  commands are supported in protect-mode
          only.
          Programs compiled using the Version 1.2 Presentation Manager will
          run on Version 1.3 without change.


          The DOS environment of IBM Operating System / 2 Standard  Edition
(R) Registered Trademarks of Adobe Systems Inc.
          Version  1.3  protects a user's investment in current software by
          providing the capability to run existing DOS programs, subject to
          certain limitations described in the IBM  Operating  System  /  2
          documentation.
          Generally,  the  DOS environment is compatible to a subset of IBM
          DOS 4.00 function. Support for disk files greater than 32 Mb  was
          included  in  IBM  Operating  System / 2 Standard Edition Version
          1.1, and is available in DOS compatibility mode. The IBM DOS 4.00
          support for greater than  25  lines  of  text  mode  display  and
          support  for  additional  video  modes for PS/2 displays are also
          available in DOS compatibility mode. The remaining  new  IBM  DOS
          4.00  functions,  such  as  the  DOS  Shell  or  LIM/EMS, are not
          supported.  The DOS command line interface  which  resembles  the
          one  in  DOS 3.30 is also provided.  The IBM Operating System / 2
          Family API allows programs to be written that will run on IBM DOS
          3.30, IBM DOS 4.00, IBM Operating System  /  2  Standard  Edition
          Version  1.1,  IBM  Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version
          1.2, or IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3
          Many existing DOS applications may be run  in  the  DOS  mode  of
          OS/2.  Users should be aware that some DOS applications, such as
          communications and timing dependent programs,  may  not  function
          properly in the DOS mode of OS/2.
          Planning Information
          The  updated  OS/2  Information  and  Planning  Guide (G360-2650)
          contains planning information, including memory, fixed disk,  and
          system unit requirements for typical OS/2 Version 1.3 systems.
          Customer  Responsibilities:    If a customer wishes to use an IBM
          Conditions of Use program concurrently on more than  one  machine
          at  a  time,  irrespective  of  the  size  of the medium, he must
          acquire the number of program packages and/or  authorised  copies
          equal to the number of concurrent users of the program.
          IBM Conditions of Use also apply to Dual Media packages; thus the
          program  in a package may only be used on a single machine at any
          one time, even though the program may be provided in the  package
          in two different sized media.

Adobe Type Manager requires no new application programming
interfaces and works with existing OS/2 applications that use
Presentation Manager Outline Fonts. IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.3 will support additional vendor font
rendering technologies developed for use with IBM Operating
System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3
 
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 includes
Procedures Language 2/REXX (REXX). REXX is an easy to learn
language designed to aid the writing of clear, structured,
interpreted procedures. REXX can provide the data manipulation
and procedural logic framework for OS/2 commands and conventional
calls to other high-level languages and CMD programs.
 
The REXX interpreter implements both the SAA level 1 and the SAA
level 2 definition of Procedures Language. Because of this, it
provides a more portable procedural alternative to OS/2 CMD
programming, thus reducing the programming investment for users
who require applications which execute in several SAA
environments. REXX helps protect programming investment for users
who have already developed REXX procedures for other SAA
environments. REXX was previously available in OS/2 Extended
Edition Version 1.2
 
REXX also has a rich repertoire of arithmetic, string handling
and logic operations which can be interpreted by OS/2. Users may
use REXX as a personal computing language without requiring a
compiler. The extended repertoire in this interpreter can enhance
programmer productivity. REXX may also be used to extend an
application by creating macros which have a mix of REXX
instructions, application specific instructions and OS/2 commands.
 
The limit on the number of active Presentation Manager windows
has been increased 10-20 times over the IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.2 in the same environment.
 
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 remains
fully compatible with existing and new OS/2 capable systems and
applications.
 
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 provides a
new, faster and more efficient print spooler. Also available is
a new API which allows applications to configure the spooler for
their specific needs without requiring user interaction with the
Print Manager.
 
Users can now elect to install and configure their printer setup
at system install time. The install procedure with user prompting
creates the appropriate Print Manager configuration.
 
Enhanced printer drivers for both IBM and non-IBM printers are
provided which will support a wide range of user and application
environments. These are as follows:
 
A new IBM Proprinter (R2) driver which provides support for
multiple graphics resolutions, multiple paper sources and
downloading of code pages (with additional memory). By
supporting resident printer fonts this driver has significant
performance improvements for text.
 
An improved HP Laserjet (TM3) Printer Driver for the Laserjet
series of printers, supports a variety of fonts including
resident fonts, cartridge fonts and downloadable fonts.
Significant performance improvements can be obtained by using
device fonts.
 
A device driver which supports current Epson 9 and 24 pin
dot-matrix printers. The printer type is selected by model or
from generic options.
 
A Postscript (TM4) device driver supporting numerous specific
Postscript printers and generic support for other Postscript
printers. It also provides the ability to download Adobe
format fonts to give synergy with the new Adobe font support.
 
A Queue Driver for use specifically in plotting is provided,
which improves the appearance of pictures spooled to a vector
plotter by reverse clipping the data. Hidden lines and patterns
are removed from solid objects that overlap, resulting in a more
accurate hard copy of the screen image.
 
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 provides
new text window fonts, which allow the user to tailor command
line window text to preference. This can display more usable
information in the same area or make the original information
easier to read.
 
New Program Properties functions allow the user to define a
working set of applications that start up at boot time,
eliminating the need for STARTUP.CMD and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
 
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 has
National Language Support for the following languages: French,
Danish, Dutch, Finnish, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Spanish, Swedish, United Kingdom English.
 
To support the application developer there is a Programming Tools
and Information Version 1.2/1.3 Update. This product will support
the new features and function provided by IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.3. New APIs are provided to support
the print spooler, drag/drop and spin button functions.
 
An upgrade will be available for users of IBM OS/2 Programming
Tools and Information Version 1.2.

Supported Hardware for Family Applications:: Assuming there is
sufficient memory, display, and other appropriate hardware, a
Family application can run on all the system units supported by
the Operating System/2 and IBM Disk Operating System Version 3.30
or 4.00. Family Applications are created by using the Family
Application Programming Interface of OS/2 and utilities supplied
in the Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3.
 
Programming Requirements: An application developer should
purchase the IBM Programming Tools and Information Version
1.2/1.3. The IBM Programming Tools and Information Version
1.2/1.3 is required to create an IBM Operating System/2
application using either the Presentation Manager or Dialog
Manager The IBM Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3
requires IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 or
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 and
accompanying manuals.
 
Compatibility: With the following exceptions, programs designed to run under IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version
1.2 will run under IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 and do not need to be reinstalled.
:Note: Customers who have compiled programs using IBM FORTRAN/2 Version 1.00 or 1.01, that are to be run on IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3, must get maintenance level 1.02 or higher of IBM FORTRAN/2 and recompile their programs to ensure proper function and correct results.
If the application uses certain subsystem functions such as physical video buffer access, registering of subsystem functions,
or character device monitors, it will be required to run in a full-screen OS/2 session. Otherwise, the application can be
windowed by specifying it as "Run in a text window" when installing the application under the OS/2 Presentation Manager.
Depending on the programming language used to develop applications, some capabilities of IBM Operating System/2
Standard Edition Version 1.3 may not be possible to implement in an application.
 
IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 does not
support the SYS utility or the /s option of the FORMAT command.
The BACKUP and RESTORE commands are supported in protect-mode
only.
Programs compiled using the Version 1.2 Presentation Manager will
run on Version 1.3 without change.
 
The DOS environment of IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition
Version 1.3 protects a user's investment in current software by
providing the capability to run existing DOS programs, subject to
certain limitations described in the IBM Operating System/2 documentation.
 
Generally, the DOS environment is compatible to a subset of IBM
DOS 4.00 function. Support for disk files greater than 32 Mb was
included in IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version
1.1, and is available in DOS compatibility mode. The IBM DOS 4.00
support for greater than 25 lines of text mode display and
support for additional video modes for PS/2 displays are also
available in DOS compatibility mode. The remaining new IBM DOS
4.00 functions, such as the DOS Shell or LIM/EMS, are not
supported. The DOS command line interface which resembles the
one in DOS 3.30 is also provided. The IBM Operating System/2
Family API allows programs to be written that will run on IBM DOS
3.30, IBM DOS 4.00, IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition
Version 1.1, IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version
1.2, or IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3
Many existing DOS applications may be run in the DOS mode of
OS/2. Users should be aware that some DOS applications, such as
communications and timing dependent programs, may not function
properly in the DOS mode of OS/2.
 
==Planning Information==
The updated OS/2 Information and Planning Guide (G360-2650)
contains planning information, including memory, fixed disk, and
system unit requirements for typical OS/2 Version 1.3 systems.
Customer Responsibilities: If a customer wishes to use an IBM
Conditions of Use program concurrently on more than one machine
at a time, irrespective of the size of the medium, he must
acquire the number of program packages and/or authorised copies
equal to the number of concurrent users of the program.
IBM Conditions of Use also apply to Dual Media packages; thus the
program in a package may only be used on a single machine at any
one time, even though the program may be provided in the package
in two different sized media.

Description

Business Solutions

In addition to all previously announced function, IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 provides increased performance over OS/2 SE 1.2. IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 is significantly faster than OS/2 SE 1.2 in memory constrained environments. (A memory-constrained environment is caused when applications overcommit system memory and disk swapping occurs). The minimum system storage required to operate OS/2, including the DOS compatibility mode, has been reduced from 2.5MB to 2.0MB. This reduction will allow many PS/2 (TM1) systems to use the true multitasking of IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 without additional storage.

Note: 2.5Mb or greater system memory and a 60Mb or greater fixed disk partition, are recommended for use with the high performance file system.

A new selectable install utility allows IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 to install in less fixed disk storage than OS/2 SE 1.2, freeing more space for user programs and data. The smallest install will require approximately 8.0MB of hard file space and the full install 11.0MB on a system with at least 4Mb of system memory.

Growth Enablement

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 includes Adobe Type Manager and will be shipped with IBM's core set of fonts. Adobe Type Manager accepts Adobe Type 1 outline fonts to provide high quality typographic text in a full range of sizes and styles to all IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 supported printers and displays, providing "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) technology for OS/2 Presentation Manager (PM) applications. Over 600 different typefaces available in Adobe Type 1 Font format can now be used with OS/2.

The thirteen core fonts included with IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 are:

Times New Roman (R1)
Times New Roman Bold
Times New Roman Italic
Times New Roman Bold Italic
Helvetica (TM2)
Helvetica Bold
Helvetica Italic
Helvetica Bold Italic
Courier
Courier Bold
Courier Italic
Courier Bold Italic
Symbol

Adobe Type Manager requires no new application programming interfaces and works with existing OS/2 applications that use Presentation Manager Outline Fonts. IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 will support additional vendor font rendering technologies developed for use with IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 includes Procedures Language 2/REXX (REXX). REXX is an easy to learn language designed to aid the writing of clear, structured, interpreted procedures. REXX can provide the data manipulation and procedural logic framework for OS/2 commands and conventional calls to other high-level languages and CMD programs.

The REXX interpreter implements both the SAA level 1 and the SAA level 2 definition of Procedures Language. Because of this, it provides a more portable procedural alternative to OS/2 CMD programming, thus reducing the programming investment for users who require applications which execute in several SAA environments. REXX helps protect programming investment for users who have already developed REXX procedures for other SAA environments. REXX was previously available in OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.2

REXX also has a rich repertoire of arithmetic, string handling and logic operations which can be interpreted by OS/2. Users may use REXX as a personal computing language without requiring a compiler. The extended repertoire in this interpreter can enhance programmer productivity. REXX may also be used to extend an application by creating macros which have a mix of REXX instructions, application specific instructions and OS/2 commands.

The limit on the number of active Presentation Manager windows has been increased 10-20 times over the IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 in the same environment.

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 remains fully compatible with existing and new OS/2 capable systems and applications.

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 provides a new, faster and more efficient print spooler. Also available is a new API which allows applications to configure the spooler for their specific needs without requiring user interaction with the Print Manager.

Users can now elect to install and configure their printer setup at system install time. The install procedure with user prompting creates the appropriate Print Manager configuration.

Enhanced printer drivers for both IBM and non-IBM printers are provided which will support a wide range of user and application environments. These are as follows:

A new IBM Proprinter (R2) driver which provides support for multiple graphics resolutions, multiple paper sources and downloading of code pages (with additional memory). By supporting resident printer fonts this driver has significant performance improvements for text.

An improved HP Laserjet (TM3) Printer Driver for the Laserjet series of printers, supports a variety of fonts including resident fonts, cartridge fonts and downloadable fonts. Significant performance improvements can be obtained by using device fonts.

A device driver which supports current Epson 9 and 24 pin dot-matrix printers. The printer type is selected by model or from generic options.

A Postscript (TM4) device driver supporting numerous specific Postscript printers and generic support for other Postscript printers. It also provides the ability to download Adobe format fonts to give synergy with the new Adobe font support.

A Queue Driver for use specifically in plotting is provided, which improves the appearance of pictures spooled to a vector plotter by reverse clipping the data. Hidden lines and patterns are removed from solid objects that overlap, resulting in a more accurate hard copy of the screen image.

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 provides new text window fonts, which allow the user to tailor command line window text to preference. This can display more usable information in the same area or make the original information easier to read.

New Program Properties functions allow the user to define a working set of applications that start up at boot time, eliminating the need for STARTUP.CMD and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 has National Language Support for the following languages: French, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, United Kingdom English.

To support the application developer there is a Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3 Update. This product will support the new features and function provided by IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3. New APIs are provided to support the print spooler, drag/drop and spin button functions.

An upgrade will be available for users of IBM OS/2 Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2.

Supported Hardware for Family Applications:: Assuming there is sufficient memory, display, and other appropriate hardware, a Family application can run on all the system units supported by the Operating System/2 and IBM Disk Operating System Version 3.30 or 4.00. Family Applications are created by using the Family Application Programming Interface of OS/2 and utilities supplied in the Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3.

Programming Requirements: An application developer should purchase the IBM Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3. The IBM Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3 is required to create an IBM Operating System/2 application using either the Presentation Manager or Dialog Manager The IBM Programming Tools and Information Version 1.2/1.3 requires IBM Operating System / 2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 or IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 and accompanying manuals.

Compatibility: With the following exceptions, programs designed to run under IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 will run under IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 and do not need to be reinstalled.

Note: Customers who have compiled programs using IBM FORTRAN/2 Version 1.00 or 1.01, that are to be run on IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3, must get maintenance level 1.02 or higher of IBM FORTRAN/2 and recompile their programs to ensure proper function and correct results.

If the application uses certain subsystem functions such as physical video buffer access, registering of subsystem functions, or character device monitors, it will be required to run in a full-screen OS/2 session. Otherwise, the application can be windowed by specifying it as "Run in a text window" when installing the application under the OS/2 Presentation Manager. Depending on the programming language used to develop applications, some capabilities of IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 may not be possible to implement in an application.

IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 does not support the SYS utility or the /s option of the FORMAT command. The BACKUP and RESTORE commands are supported in protect-mode only. Programs compiled using the Version 1.2 Presentation Manager will run on Version 1.3 without change.

The DOS environment of IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 protects a user's investment in current software by providing the capability to run existing DOS programs, subject to certain limitations described in the IBM Operating System/2 documentation.

Generally, the DOS environment is compatible to a subset of IBM DOS 4.00 function. Support for disk files greater than 32 Mb was included in IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1, and is available in DOS compatibility mode. The IBM DOS 4.00 support for greater than 25 lines of text mode display and support for additional video modes for PS/2 displays are also available in DOS compatibility mode. The remaining new IBM DOS 4.00 functions, such as the DOS Shell or LIM/EMS, are not supported. The DOS command line interface which resembles the one in DOS 3.30 is also provided. The IBM Operating System/2 Family API allows programs to be written that will run on IBM DOS 3.30, IBM DOS 4.00, IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.1, IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2, or IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 Many existing DOS applications may be run in the DOS mode of OS/2. Users should be aware that some DOS applications, such as communications and timing dependent programs, may not function properly in the DOS mode of OS/2.

Planning Information

The updated OS/2 Information and Planning Guide (G360-2650) contains planning information, including memory, fixed disk, and system unit requirements for typical OS/2 Version 1.3 systems. Customer Responsibilities: If a customer wishes to use an IBM Conditions of Use program concurrently on more than one machine at a time, irrespective of the size of the medium, he must acquire the number of program packages and/or authorised copies equal to the number of concurrent users of the program. IBM Conditions of Use also apply to Dual Media packages; thus the program in a package may only be used on a single machine at any one time, even though the program may be provided in the package in two different sized media.
