          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.

          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.
