OS/2 2.0 SERVICE PAK ADVANCE INFORMATION UPDATE

September 30, 1992

This is an update to information posted September 18, 1992.

IBM intends to produce two versions of a Service Pak for OS/2 2.0.
One version will contain fixes for OS/2 2.0 and will include the
32-bit Graphics Engine, which will replace the 16-bit Graphics Engine
when the Service Pak is installed.  The second version of the Service
Pak will only contain fixes for OS/2 2.0.  Both of these Service Paks
are designed to be applied to the OS/2 2.0 product as released in March,
1992.  However, they will be mutually exclusive; only one of them can
be applied.  If you apply the version containing the 32-bit Graphics
Engine and later decide that you do not want it, you would have to
reinstall the original OS/2 2.0 and then apply the second version of
the Service Pak without the 32-bit Graphics Engine.

The version of the Service Pak containing the 32-bit Graphics Engine
was targeted to be available electronically at the end of September.
IBM has been working feverishly to meet that target.  However, based
on feedback generated by the earlier announcement and results of
testing, we have decided to include additional fixes in the Service
Paks.  These fixes require additional code and test time.  In addition
to testing these fixes, IBM is performing tests on the Service Pak as
an entity to ensure that the individual APAR fixes are compatible when
integrated into the system.  IBM continues to make and test fixes and
to assess the content of the Service Pak to ensure that the proper
fixes are included and that high quality fixes are delivered.

The version of the Service Pak containing the 32-bit Graphics Engine
will be made available electronically via IBMLINK OS/2 BBS, CIS,
NSC BBS, INTERNET, and other external sources as soon as it is ready,
meaning that it has the proper content and the right level of quality.
The current outlook is that it will be available prior to mid-October.
The version of the Service Pak without the 32-bit Graphics Engine
will be available at a later date.

Full Service Pak contents, delivery mechanisms, and availability will
be announced once the Service Paks are completed and schedules are
formalized.

Please use the following information for your planning purposes, and not
as a commitment to deliver any specific APAR, or to guarantee any
specific delivery date.

The APAR fixes currently available for inclusion in the Service Paks
are listed below.  The fixes added since the previous announcement are
listed first.  Please bear in mind that this is a preliminary list and
that the information about availability refers to target dates.
Additional APARs are being addressed on an ongoing basis.  APAR fixes
will be added as testing completes.
