OS/2 Warp Tips

Here are several tips for OS/2 Warp Version 3.

Running WebExplorer Plus TCP/IP Under OS/2 Warp

Under OS/2 Warp Version 3, you can run WebExplorer as well as TCP/IP version 2.0 plus the base kit ServicePak for TCP/IP 2.0. You can obtain technical support from the Internet newsgroup comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip.

Can't Run Both TCP/IP Version 2.0 and IBM Internet Connection Under OS/2 Warp

When you install both TCP/IP Version 2.0 and the IBM Internet Connection under OS/2 Warp, the installation will take place cleanly, but you will get an error message informing you that there will subsequently be several problems, and certain features will not work. This happens because running TCP/IP Version 2.0 and the IBM Internet Connection together under OS/2 Warp is not supported.

Using OS/2 Warp Internet Connection Kit on a LAN

(Submitted by John McGarvey, IBM Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Internet userid mcgarvey@vnet.ibm.com)

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about OS/2 Warp, Internet Access, and TCP/IP 2.0.

Q1. Does TCP/IP 2.0 work on WARP?

A1. Yes.


Q2. Does the Internet Connection kit work with OS/2 2.1?

A2. No. The Internet Connection kit can only be installed on OS/2 Warp.


Q3. I have OS/2 2.1 and TCP/IP 2.0. Can I run WebExplorer and Gopher?

A3. Yes. You must have CSD UN64092 installed. WebExplorer can be downloaded from the Internet via anonymous FTP from ftp01.ny.us.ibm.net, where it is in the subdirectory /pub/WebExplorer. Gopher can be downloaded from the Internet via anonymous FTP from software.watson.ibm.com, where it is in the subdirectory /pub/os2/ews. The version of Gopher on software.watson.ibm.com is not current, but it will be updated soon.


Q4. I have OS/2 Warp. Can I use the Internet Connection kit for TCP/IP LAN access?

A4. No, the Internet Connection kit only supports dial access. You must install TCP/IP 2.0 for LAN-based TCP/IP access. A follow-on to OS/2 Warp is in the works, which will include full LAN enablement. (There will be an upgrade charge.)


Q5. Can I install both TCP/IP 2.0 (for LAN access) and the Internet Connection kit?

A5. Yes. This combination is not tested or supported, but it does work. You must install TCP/IP 2.0 first. Then you install CSD UN64092. Then you install the Internet Connection to the same directory as TCP/IP 2.0 is installed. You will see a warning message that the combination is not supported. There are some problems:


Q5a. The icons of the Internet Connection kit are configured to use a dial connection. How do I use these applications on the LAN?

A5a. Create program objects for WebExplorer (explore.exe) and Gopher (gopher.exe) in your TCP/IP folder.


Q5b. The UltiMedia Mail Lite package included with the Internet Connection kit is configured to be used with an Internet mailbox. How do I use it on the LAN?

A5b. For LAN-based mail, use the LaMail package that ships with TCP/IP 2.0.


Questions 5c and 5d come up when a user tries to use Internet and LAN TCP/IP access simultaneously. These problems do not occur unless you try to access TCP/IP hosts on a LAN at the same time that you have an active dial connection to the Internet.


Q5c. I want to simultaneously access TCP/IP hosts on the LAN and via a dial connection to the Internet. When I dial the Internet, I can no longer get to the LAN TCP/IP hosts. The error message is "host unknown". What do I do about this?

A5c. While you are connected to the Internet, TCP/IP name resolution queries a host name server on the Internet to look up host addresses. The Internet name server will not know the names of your local hosts. You can use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to create a hosts file (page 3 of the services section) for hosts on your LAN. Or you can access hosts on your LAN by IP address instead of by name.


Q5d. I have a default route to a router on my LAN. When I dial the Internet, the LAN default route is inactivated, and I can no longer access TCP/IP hosts through my LAN router until I hang up the Internet connection. What do I do about this?

A5d. While you are connected to the Internet, your default route is to the Internet. You can create host, network, or subnet routes for TCP/IP hosts that you access through your LAN router, so that these hosts remain accessible while you are connected to the Internet. You use the routing page of the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook.

OS/2 Warp's Swapper File is Larger

The Swapper file is larger in OS/2 Warp than in previous releases of OS/2. The most significant reason is the way that system DLLs get loaded, and what is now valid data for swapping.

System DLLs include:

 DISPLAY     PMATM      PMMLE
 DOSCALL1    PMCTLS     PMSPL
 IBMDEV32    PMGPI      PMVIOP
 IBMVGA32    PMMERGE    PMWP
                        SOM

In previous versions of OS/2, DLLs were not copied to the Swapper file. In OS/2 Warp, code for system DLLs can be written to the Swapper file. In addition, during boot, DOSCALL1, PMGPI, PMMERGE, PMVIOP, and PMWP are swapped out. Although this means that the Swapper file's size increases, these steps were taken to improve overall system performance.

Changes Made by OS/2 Warp to Windows Files

Changes are made to several Windows files during installation of OS/2 Warp.

The following Windows files are modified during OS/2 Warp installation:

  WIN.COM
  CONTROL.INF
  SETUP.INF
  CONTROL.INI
  PROGMAN.INI
  SYSTEM.INI
  WIN.INI

Specific changes are:

      PRINTER6=IBM39521
  .Windows.
    If no printer is defined in Windows, Warp inserts GENERIC/TEXT ONLY
    in the DEVICE= statement.

How to Determine Which Warp Package You Have

Warp packages were updated soon after their initial release. The only file that was changed in the updated Warp packages is SYSINST1.EXE. This file is located on Disk 1 or CD-ROM 1, and is installed into:

  X:\OS2\INSTALL\BOOTDISK\SYSINST1.EXE

The old file size for SYSINST1.EXE is 4992 bytes, dated 10-08-94. The new file size for SYSINST1.EXE is 4960 bytes, dated 10-25-94.

The following information should be used to distinguish the original generally-available version of Warp from the updated packages, and from newly manufactured packages.

  1. 16-digit code on bottom of Warp box (first 6 digits are date of manufacture)
    • If not reworked, the date is prior to 10/29/94.
    • If reworked, there are two 16-digit codes: (1) the original code, with a date prior to 10/29/94, and an additional code that reflects the date of rework.
    • Packages with a single 16-digit code showing a date after 10/29/94 are newly manufactured and contain the revised SYSINST1.EXE file.
  2. Shipping carton of any reworked product will have a single white sticker (with no text on it) on the outside of the box.
  3. The labels of the revised media have new part numbers:
    83G8658 (for revised Disk 1)
    83G8661 (for revised CD-ROM 1)

Warp File List: Which Disks They Are On, and Which Directories They Go Into

Here is a list of the files in OS/2 Warp, including the 14 system diskettes, the 4 display diskettes, and the 3 printer diskettes. The list shows on which diskettes the files come, and into which directories the files go.

IBM Power Personal Developer's ToolBox Program

(Some of this information appeared in the 15 November DSNEWS.)

Phased Rollout of PowerPC-Based PCs

IBM is taking a phased rollout approach to the introduction of PowerPC-based PCs from the Power Personal Systems Division. This allows us to introduce the systems to the marketplace gradually, to respond to customer requirements and feedback, and to make the announcement of general availability when the timing is right.

Since earlier this year, we have shipped more than 1,000 development systems to independent software and hardware developers, corporate developers, and as special-bid systems to corporations.

Toolbox Program

We are now beginning the Power Personal Developer's Toolbox Program as part of the phased rollout.

The program offers attractively priced PowerPC-based development hardware platforms, operating-system software, and software development tools (such as compilers) to independent and corporate applications developers.

This is a limited time - and limited product set - offering. At present, only a few system models with select memory, storage and monitor options, and with a choice of two operating systems (IBM's AIX 4.1 and Microsoft's Windows NT Workstation), are available.

Questions and Answers

Q1. Exactly what are you offering developers?

A1. The IBM Power Personal Developer's ToolBox Program allows developers of commercial software and internal applications to purchase, at an attractive price, development hardware - PowerPC microprocessor-based personal systems - with a selection of components (such as hard drives), software development tools, compilers, and a choice of two operating systems that will be available immediately - IBM's AIX 4.1 for Clients, and Microsoft's Windows NT Workstation. We expect later on to be able to offer two other operating systems: IBM's OS/2 for the PowerPC, and SunSoft's Solaris.

Technical support, fee based and non-fee based, will also be available.

Q2. Are the systems you will be selling to developers the same systems that you will make generally available to customers in the first half of 1995?

A2. In general, yes. There may be some changes if the experience of customers and developers with the development systems indicates a need for changes, but it is impossible to speculate beyond that.

Q3. When will I be able to walk into a computer store and buy a PowerPC-based system?

A3. IBM has had PowerPC-based workstations in the marketplace for more than a year. In 1994, we have shipped hundreds of PowerPC-based personal systems to developers and as special-bid systems to customers.

As part of our phased rollout of PowerPC-based personal systems, we are now making development systems more widely available to independent and corporate software developers.

We intend to make PowerPC-based personal systems generally available early next year. Beyond that, we cannot be more specific.

Q4. Will they be available in the first quarter of 1995, as IBM Chairman Lou Gerstner recently told reporters in Europe?

A4. Systems are available now to developers, and as special-bid systems to select customers. We intend to make PowerPC-based personal systems generally available early in 1995. That is what Mr. Gerstner stated when he was in Europe, but that statement was misinterpreted. "Early in 1995" could be the first quarter, but we do not intent to make a public commitment to a specific date at this time.

The number of available applications - both current applications that have been ported to the 32-bit operating systems, and new advanced applications - is a critical factor in our decision of when the correct time will be to make these systems generally available.

Q5. What is the price of these systems to developers?

A5. Prices vary substantially depending on the system configuration and level of support. For a single system, the price could range from less than $3,000 to more than $5,000.

Q6. What is the price of these systems to "special-bid" customers?

A6. (Same answer as A5.)

Q7. To date, how many software developers have said they are creating new applications or porting existing applications for the PowerPC Reference Platform-based systems?

A7. A significant number. We cannot be more specific than that because of confidential disclosure agreements between IBM and the developers that prohibit public disclosure of this information.

Q8. When will OS/2 for the PowerPC be available?

A8. IBM's Personal Software Products division, the group developing the operating system, expects to deliver first beta versions to a select number of developers by the end of this year (1994).

Q9. When will Solaris for the PowerPC be available for developers?

A9. Solaris for the PowerPC will be available to application developers on a limited, selected basis beginning in the fourth quarter of this year (1994). It will be generally available for developers in the first quarter of 1995.

Q10. When will Solaris be available as part of the Developer's Toolbox?

A10. Initially, the Solaris SDK (Software Developers Toolkit) and DDK (Device Drive Kit) will be available from SunSoft in the first quarter of 1995 by calling 1-800-SUN-SOFT within the USA. It is IBM's and SunSoft's intention to have IBM also distribute both the SDK and DDK as part of IBM's Developer's Toolbox.

Q11. How will developers get systems?

A11. Developers will fill out an enrollment application. If they meet the requirements, they will receive a developer identification number and a special toll-free number to use in placing system and software orders.

Q12. What are the requirements?

A12. The program is designed for qualified U.S. commercial developers who plan to port products to, or develop and market products for, IBM PowerPC-based personal systems and select operating systems. This program is also intended for developers who plan to port internally used products to, or develop internally used products for, these hardware systems and select operating systems. Developers will fill out questionnaires about these products or planned products, and submit them to IBM.

Q13. How many development systems do you expect to ship in 1994?

A13. While we prefer not to speculate on that, we have had an enthusiastic response from the development community.

Q14. Is there a limit to the number of systems a developer can purchase from IBM?

A14. Yes. Qualified developers may purchase a maximum of 15 systems of each of the three available models in a 12-month period.

Q15. I understand that you mailed this information to thousands of software developers. How many do you expect to order systems?

A15. It is difficult to speculate. We feel that the interest and demand from developers will continue to be enthusiastic.

Q16. Is this program also available to hardware manufacturers?

A16. Yes, we expect that subsystem developers and manufacturers will also be interested in ordering these systems.

Q17. How do I get information about this program?

A17. In the United States, developers can call 1-800-627-8363. Phone numbers in other countries are:

Q18. What would be the impact of a converged Apple/IBM PowerPC platform on developers who have ported applications to the IBM PowerPC Reference Platform or to the developers of Macintosh applications?

A18. We expect the impact would be very positive, because a converged platform would create an expanded market for applications developers and operating-system providers. In other words, a converged platform should allow a larger number of operating systems to run on the converged PowerPC platform in the future. Today, five operating systems are being ported to the PowerPC Reference Platform - IBM's AIX and OS/2 for the PowerPC, Microsoft's Windows NT, SunSoft's Solaris, and Taligent. Apple's System 7.x runs on the Apple PowerPC-based system.

A converged platform should mean that all six operating systems would run on the converged platform. Therefore, an application developer would instantly gain hardware platform "opportunity." For example, a developer of AIX applications would be able to market software to PowerMac users, as well as users of PowerPC-based hardware platforms from IBM, Canon, Motorola, and others.


Developing Applications for OS/2 for the PowerPC

A series of questions and answers prepared for general distribution.

Q1. What tools are available for developing applications for OS/2 for the PowerPC? Which of my current tools can I still use?

A1. The OS/2 for the PowerPC development environment is both flexible and robust. IBM will provide an SDK that contains a running system plus a set of tools modeled after the current OS/2 Warp toolkit and compilers. Therefore, the tools will have a familiar front-end, but will produce binaries that run on the PowerPC. In addition, the tools will be able to run on Intel-based computers (i.e., they will be Intel-hosted), and will verify or produce output that runs on PowerPC-based computers. This allows for tremendous flexibility in testing portable source code.

Q2. If I want to move my applications to PowerPC, it looks as though I have to migrate them to 32-bit applications first. But I use APIs for IBM LAN Server, DB/2, and Communications Manager, all of which have only 16-bit APIs in some places. How do I become pure 32-bit?

A2. LAN Server, DB/2, and Communications Manager will be modified to run under OS/2 for the PowerPC, and all of the current 16-bit APIs will be replaced with 32-bit functional equivalents. Furthermore, we will create compatibility libraries, so that applications developed with 32-bit APIs for OS/2 for the PowerPC will be source-compatible with OS/2 Warp, allowing these new versions to run under OS/2 Warp. These libraries will be made available through The IBM Developer Connection.

Q3. Can I run existing OS/2 Intel-based applications unmodified on PowerPC?

A3. Along with the ability to run all of your existing Intel DOS and Windows binaries, we are developing the capability to run your existing Intel OS/2 binaries (both 16- and 32-bit) on the PowerPC as well.

Q4. When do I write an application as a shared service?

A4. Shared services are intended only to provide system functions, with no user interface. Examples of these services are database engines, file systems, and device drivers. If you want to release an application that is intended to be distributed across a client/server architecture or used by multiple operating-system environments, you may want to segment the application into a (set of) shared service part(s) and a personality-specific part. The personality-specific part of the application would provide the user interface, and the part(s) of the application that is (are) to be distributed or shared would be contained in the shared-services part(s).

Q5. How do I get started writing applications for OS/2 for the PowerPC?

A5. To begin writing applications for OS/2 for the PowerPC, you should write a pure 32-bit OS/2 application for OS/2 Warp (on Intel-based computers). Your source-code development can be completed on Intel computers right now. In addition, the 32-bit source code developed can be used both on the OS/2 Warp Intel-based computers as well as on OS/2 for the PowerPC; therefore only a single source needs to be maintained for both hardware platforms.

Q6. What effort will be required to move applications to OS/2 for the PowerPC?

A6. All applications need to be converted to OS/2 32-bit code in order to exploit the benefits of the PowerPC processor. The amount of effort will vary for each application. This task has been simplified with the Sniffer tool and One Up Corporation's SMART migration tool. In addition, the SMART tool can provide an approximate sizing of the task at hand before conversion begins. Once any 16-bit OS/2 or Windows code is converted to OS/2 32-bit code, the source code can be used to deliver applications for OS/2 Warp on both Intel and PowerPC platforms.

Q7. Is there anything in OS/2 Warp that I don't get in OS/2 for the PowerPC? Conversely, is there anything new in OS/2 for the PowerPC that we have not yet seen on the Intel platform?

A7. OS/2 for the PowerPC is based on the recently released OS/2 Warp Version 3 for Intel-based computers. Both products supply the same features to users. Because we're always improving Warp, you will always see some new features in the latest release, regardless of which platform that release is for. So you can expect to see new features in OS/2 for the PowerPC, which will also show up as well in he next release of OS/2 Warp for the Intel platform.

Today, the only differences between OS/2 Warp for Intel-based computers and OS/2 for the PowerPC are:

(1) OS/2 for the PowerPC will include the enabling capabilities for many human-centered technologies in the standard package, while these capabilities must be purchased separately for the Intel-based OS/2 Warp. (This may change in the future.)
(2) OS/2 for the PowerPC is built on the IBM Microkernel. Therefore it supports microkernel-based services. As a result, a different set of servers are required that have add-on function not available for the current Intel platform (e.g., networking, database, etc.)

Q8. How much of the OS/2 for the PowerPC source code is common with OS/2 Warp?

A8. Excluding the IBM Microkernel, there is a very significant amount of common source code in today's OS/2 Warp and OS/2 for the PowerPC. Consequently, OS/2 for the PowerPC will have the stability and reliability associated with OS/2 Warp. Furthermore, the commonality ensures compatibility.

Q9. Wouldn't it be easier to simply port OS/2 Warp to the PowerPC? Why are you using the IBM Microkernel?

A9. It might have been much easier to just port OS/2 Warp to the PowerPC. However, using the IBM Microkernel architecture offers many additional immediate and future benefits:

(1) By implementing the new IBM Microkernel-based architecture, users will have more choices in setting up their environments with more complete, accessible, and affordable solutions.
(2) It will also be much easier to port OS/2 to additional platforms in the future.
(3) The IBM Microkernel provides developers with an environment in which they can develop more competitive and widely-used applications for less money in a shorter development cycle.
(4) Services built on the IBM Microkernel can be shared with other Microkernel-based products beyond OS/2.

Many more benefits will be realized from this change.

Q10. Do existing OS/2 Warp device drivers work on OS/2 for the PowerPC?

A10. Printers: Presentation Manager (PM) drivers will run unchanged on both OS/2 Warp and OS/2 for the PowerPC.

Graphics display drivers: The current seamless Windows and PM device-driver model is very complex - each PM driver consists of about 70,000 lines of code). IBM has rearchitected the graphics subsystem and provided a new graphics display driver model for OS/2 for the PowerPC to make the job of writing PM drivers significantly easier. This new, layered model requires only about 5,000 to 8,000 lines of device-specific code, which will make driver development and distribution a far simpler task for third-party OEMs. The new-model device drivers will be portable to a later release of OS/2 Warp.

Base device drivers (SCSI, CD-ROM, multimedia, etc.): The 16-bit ADD model for OS/2 today has proven to be a very flexible approach, and third-party OEMs have readily adapted it for their own devices. IBM is building a new, fully 32-bit device-driver model for OS/2 for the PowerPC. This new model will provide even more flexibility than the current 16-bit OS/2 model. It is our intent to allow these new 32-bit device drivers to run on a later release of OS/2 Warp.

Q11: What are the benefits of out-of-kernel device drivers?

A11:

(1) Out-of-kernel device drivers pose less risk of bringing down the system, because they do not run in the most privileged state of the processor (ring 0), therefore making the system more reliable.
(2) They are easier to develop than in-kernel device drivers, because the same tools that are used for applications can be used rather than special kernel debuggers. The result will be a broader range of device-driver availability, as well as more rapid availability of drivers for new devices. For device-driver developers, this reduces the cost of driver development and maintenance.
(3) Device drivers can be dynamically loaded, unloaded, or upgraded without rebooting the system.

Note that there may be a small amount of device-driver code, such as interrupt services, that will remain in the kernel.

Q12. What are the benefits of a device-driver framework?

A12. A device-driver framework provides a significant reduction in the amount of code that device drivers need to create. It also offers a rich set of system services (e.g., configuration management). Being easier to write, more drivers will be available, more rapidly, and at lower cost, giving end-users more device drivers and hardware options.

Q13. I have a lot of device drivers that I need to convert to OS/2 for the PowerPC. What can I do to get started now?

A13. To start now, you should isolate the hardware-specific components of your device drivers, and port them to the C language. As soon as final specifications are available for the new device-driver frameworks, you will be able to complete the coding process.

OS/2 and LAN Server Certification Programs in Europe, Middle East, and Africa

Never has there been a better time to support OS/2 and LAN Server!

IBM's award-winning 32-bit PC operating system has snapped up BYTE Magazine's 1993 Award of Excellence, and been named by InfoWorld as the Reader's Choice Product of the Year for the second consecutive year. This brings the total number of key awards given to OS/2 2.x to 47.

The success of the OS/2 Warp launches throughout Europe (and the rest of the world) has been very exciting, and interest in OS/2 is at an all-time high!

In addition, IBM's LAN Server 4.0 was recently voted Best of Show at Networld+Interop, Atlanta, USA, the networking industry's largest conference.

What are These Certification Programs?

The certification programs are designed to identify and promote OS/2- and LAN server-compatible software.

Certified applications can have the special certification marks on product packaging and marketing materials. They also qualify for special entries in catalogues.

When consumers see the certification marks on your product and marketing materials, they will have confidence that your software program is compatible with OS/2 and/or LAN Server.

What do the Certification Programs Offer Software Developers?

- Increased sales opportunity

You immediately expand the market for your product. For example, an article in Datamation, 15 April 1994, estimates a potential market of nearly 10 million users for OS/2 applications by the end of 1994.

- Proof of compatibility

Compatibility is the key to success in the world of software solutions. Your customers will be glad to see that you have tested your product for OS/2 and LAN Server compatibility. Certified products can use the distinctive certification marks on advertisements, product packaging, and publicity materials.

- First step for application marketing assistance

Any marketing programs for OS/2 applications are built on the product certification program with its distinctive 'OS/2 Available and Ready' certification mark. Make sure that your application is certified, so that you can take advantage of any marketing programs offered.

- Increased visibility

We will help you spread the good news. IBM will publish listings of certified products worldwide, for use at major trade shows and in directories and mailings. LAN-Certified applications will be featured in the next edition of the Sources and Solutions publication.

Who can Apply for the Programs?

These programs are open to any developer in Europe, Middle East, and Africa whose DOS, Windows, and/or OS/2 application is shipping.

Membership in the OS/2 Developer Assistance Program is NOT a requirement.

What is the Process?

Certification is easy. Simply test your product with OS/2 2.x or LAN Server 3.0, using the test suite provided by IBM. Send in your test results, and when they are approved, you will be sent the certification mark for use in your product packaging, point-of-sale material, and literature.

How Much will it Cost to Participate?

Currently there is no charge for these programs.

IBM Announces New Internet Services and Products, and Demonstrates New Internet Technologies at Internet World '94

IBM showcased its growing suite of Internet offerings at Internet World, announcing new security solutions, Home Page and World Wide Web services, and new online partnerships with MecklerMedia and PC Flowers.

IBM also invited show attendees to participate in an Internet test drive where they can travel through cyberspace using the IBM Internet Connection and WebExplorer.

"IBM is committed to the Internet and to making it simple and accessible to everyone," said John R. Patrick, vice president of communications, IBM Networked Application Services. "We are dedicating a rich portfolio of technologies, products and services to make this happen."

IBM announcements included:

  • NetSp Secured Network Gateway, a secure network gateway, commonly called a "firewall", that protects a customer's information systems from intrusion through a network. The software allows customers to define and implement a security policy that enables appropriate information to flow to or from the Internet.
  • IGN Firewall Services, a secured network gateway offered by Advantis, U.S. provider of the IBM Global Network (IGN). This service blocks unwanted logons or file transfers from the Internet.
  • Home Page and World Wide Web (WWW) services. This new service will enable customers to place corporate, product, service, and general information on the Internet. IBM will offer a "turnkey" approach for customers who want to use the Internet to expand into new markets, and reach new customers worldwide without investing in new technology and skills.
  • PC Gifts and Flowers. IBM, in conjunction with PC Flowers, will provide an online interactive gift service on the Internet. IBM's first electronic commerce pilot program on the Internet expands the online marketing presence and product offerings of PC Flowers, the leading interactive online shopping service.

IBM Accepts Award for OpenDoc Software Innovation

At its annual award ceremony this year, PC Magazine U.K. presented its most prestigious award, the "Editorial Fellows Award for the Most Significant Development," jointly to IBM and Apple for OpenDoc.

The award is given annually to the product or technology seen as having the "most influence on the industry."

PC Magazine's Comments

Said PC Magazine, "We may now be seeing the beginnings of the most fundamental change ever in the software industry. OpenDoc is a new desktop object standard which started as a small spin-off from Apple and IBM's Taligent project. But it has grown into an industry-wide proposal which, judging by the hostile response from Microsoft, looks good enough to seriously challenge Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). The Fellows are unanimous in giving this award to Apple and IBM, the original architects of the OpenDoc standard."

A Component Architecture

OpenDoc is a component architecture that is stewarded by an organization called Component Integration Laboratories (CILabs). CILabs has, in turn, several sponsors, among them IBM, Apple, Lotus, and WordPerfect. OpenDoc is more than just a compound document architecture, although it can be used this way as a quick way of exploiting the upcoming technology, which will rely heavily on future PowerPC-based computers from IBM.

Several Major Players

OpenDoc is comprised of technology from several major players in the software industry. For example, IBM's contribution is the Systems Object Model technology, which has been pioneered in OS/2, is now being delivered for AIX, and soon will be delivered for mainframe platforms, too. This aspect allows CILabs to deliver technology that is of benefit to the entire industry.

Seeding a Major Change

More important, OpenDoc carries with it the seeds of a major change in the software industry, because it exploits object technology to allow applications to be created from a kit of parts. This means that today's monolithic applications, instead of having to be developed as a whole, can be created as a set of smaller parts. This allows for swifter development and delivery of applications.

A statement of direction for DCE services on VM/ESA has been made.


C++ or Smalltalk...How Do You Choose an Object-Oriented Programming Language?

(Written by Mike Anderson, IBM Corporation, Rochester, Minnesota)

Deciding which of the major object-oriented programming languages to use should be a business decision, although it can become an emotional one - not unlike a discussion of religion, politics, or sports.

One point should be made clear: Both languages are strategic.

Following are some factors to consider when choosing between C++ and Smalltalk.

Application Needs

While both languages are widely used for development of applications, C++ allows developers to code at a lower level of the system than does Smalltalk. So, in general, Smalltalk could be viewed as more of an application programming language, while C++ could be viewed as a systems programming language.

Also, for parts of applications that are highly performance-critical, C++, with its ability to write code at a lower level, would be a better choice.

Availability of Parts

General-purpose class libraries are normally provided with either language. However, if your application requires a specific class library, such as international currency, the language for which that class library is available would be the obvious choice.

Note that, as support such as IBM System Object Model proliferates, there will be more language-neutral class libraries, so class library availability should become less important.

Skills

This is often the key decision point, and there are several ways to address it. Do you intend to hire new developers with OOP skills or leverage the skills of the developers you have? Do you want developers to maximize their current language skills, or do you want to ensure that your developers complete the object-oriented paradigm shift by learning a new language?

If you are hiring developers, you are generally free to choose developers skilled in the language that best satisfies the criteria listed elsewhere in this discussion. One other factor is the supply of skills you need. C++ is more widely used, largely because of its similarity to C, and C++ programmers are likely to be in greater supply.

If you want to leverage your current skills, here are some considerations. For experienced C programmers, C++ is clearly the easiest language to learn. The risk is that C programmers would simply continue to write procedural C code subroutines in C++. Many believe that, for programmers experienced in languages commonly used for commercial applications, like COBOL or RPG, Smalltalk is the best choice because it encourages closer adherence to OO design techniques. However, as with C++, it is still possible with Smalltalk to create objects that are just COBOL subroutines. Generally, leveraging programming skills is an advantage, but you must ensure that developers have made the OOP transition and use their language skills in that context.

Team Development

Smalltalk is supported by the IBM VisualAge family of products. VisualAge offers a team development feature. C Set ++, IBM's C++ application development environment, does not include such a feature. However, it is designed to work with your choice of popular development environments, such as Polytronic Version Control System (PVCS) by InterSolv, as well as with your choice of editors.

Other Language Characteristics

Adherence to OO Design Techniques: Smalltalk a "pure" OO language; object-oriented characteristics like encapsulation, inheritance, and messaging are built into the language implementation. C++ is a more flexible language. As a result, Smalltalk helps ensure adherence to OO techniques, although it is still possible to stray.

Modelling: Both C++ and Smalltalk allow you to define an accurate business model. As a "pure" OO language, Smalltalk can help ensure that you adhere to OO principles.

Rapid Prototyping: Smalltalk development environments, with the incremental compiler and the "Do It" capability, are ideally suited to prototyping and rapid application development.

Performance Tuning: C++, with its flexibility and ability to code at a low level, typically yields applications that are easier to tune effectively for improved performance.

Cost: C++ compilers typically require less memory than Smalltalk environments, resulting in lower hardware costs.

Portability: C++ is perceived as being more portable. From a standards perspective, there is no clear favorite. Portability is influenced more by the availability of standard class libraries on the platforms you choose.

Conclusion

The choice of C++ or Smalltalk as a development language is based on your prioritization of factors such as your application needs, parts availability, and skills. Your choices in these areas will help you determine which language is best for you.

Flexible Support Hours for OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 Warp

The OS/2 Operating System is shipped with a 60-day "Getting Started" period of support. Currently, customers must access this technical support Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM in their time zone.

In our continuing effort to balance delivering the best possible technical support, the cost of providing this support, and meeting customer requirements, IBM is responding to customers' requests for more flexible support hours.

Customers may now select their personal hours of support for the OS/2 product to be any 9-hour time slot between the hours of 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern time Monday through Friday. This change in support hours applies to both the OS/2 product's 60-day "Getting Started" period and the Personal System Support Line Single User Annual offering. Support hours for all other products and offerings will remain as previously defined.

We believe this will allow customers to choose hours of support that are better suited to their schedules, while still allowing IBM to competitively price the OS/2 product and to deliver solid technical support.

The IBM Developer Assistance Program in Europe, Middle East, and Africa

As the computer industry shifts to new forms of development to meet the demands of client/server computing, the abilities of the software developer also need to evolve and expand. Fully exploiting the power and potential of the latest advanced operating systems, together with related products and technologies, places heavy demands on developers.

For software developers using IBM's OS/2 and OS/2-based products, the IBM Developer Assistance Program in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA DAP) meets these demands, and provides much more besides.

The EMEA DAP is open to any developer in EMEA who is actively developing for OS/2, be it a device driver, a commercial product, a line-of-business application, or a set of SOM objects.

Join the EMEA DAP and move into the fast lane of OS/2 development!

Bulletin-Board Service and CD-ROMs

As a DAP member, you can access our dedicated EMEA DAP Bulletin Board Service (BBS) and benefit from the wealth of tools, information, and advice that we make available.

The BBS is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It enables fellow OS/2 developers around the world to exchange ideas and information, getting rapid responses from the experts. Support is provided by our own OS/2 Certified Engineers, developers in the IBM programming labs, and even other DAP members.

Our electronic repositories provide a comprehensive collection of many IBM-developed OS/2 tools, documentation, fixes, sample code, electronic newsletters, news items, and marketing material to support your development efforts. We periodically mail out the latest offers to EMEA DAP members, as well as DAP Library CD-ROMs, which conveniently package together much of the information available on the bulletin board, making this information readily accessible.

In order to make the BBS connection affordable for the developer, we have installed local systems in many countries throughout EMEA, which shadow the central BBS machine in Basingstoke UK. Members of the DAP in those countries now no longer need to make an international telephone call to connect to the DAP BBS. Local access to the DAP BBS will be provided in more countries in the near future.

And what's more, it is all currently free of charge!

Discounts

Selected promotions and discounts may be available when purchasing IBM PC hardware, OS/2 software, and OS/2-related publications. These discount programs vary by country, and your local IBM DAP contact will be pleased to tell you if such a program is available in your country.

Technical Seminars

Technical seminars are held several times per year in different countries, and the DAP program provides early information to members about the dates and venues. These seminars are an excellent way to learn about the latest developments in OS/2, and talk directly with the IBM developers themselves.

HelpFax

IBM HelpFax is an automated document-delivery system available on demand from your telephone, 24 hours a day. HelpFax offers a wide variety of information about IBM products and services, including "What's New", "Operating Systems", "Networking", "Database and Client/Server", through to "Marketing Brochures and Announcements". Your chosen documents will be sent directly to your specified fax machine.

Application Marketing

IBM support does not end once you have developed your product ... We have a variety of marketing programs to help you market your OS/2 product to the OS/2 community around the world. Most are free, but others are available at a nominal charge to help cover costs. Details about the current programs will be posted on the BBS or mailed out.

CompuServe Support

The IBM Worldwide Developer Assistance Program provides a complimentary service which is open to individuals without company or product prerequisites. Worldwide DAP services include a variety of technical, business, and marketing support services, provided through CompuServe. Enrollment is done electronically through either the CompuServe information service or by requesting an enrollment form from Internet.

Programming Tools and Information

The EMEA DAP, through the BBS and DAP Library CD-ROMs, provides developers with the latest OS/2 programming tools and information that are generally (freely) available. An essential complement to our services is The Developer Connection for OS/2, which provides additional professional tools, utilities, product demos, information, and sample code from IBM and others.

For a low-cost subscription to The Developer Connection for OS/2, you will receive four quarterly updates in the form of a CD-ROM and a newsletter. Support is provided through The Developer Connection for OS/2 forum on CompuServe, as well as the CF.DEVCON customer forum on the EMEA DAP BBS.
