The following was snipped from IBM's Australian OS/2 support BBS :-) this 
morning. I am passing on this information as a courtesy to readers of this 
newsgroup; I do not represent IBM in any sense.

I'm sorry there's more text than I would prefer; my news poster will wrap 
the tables into oblivion if I edit the text.

Note that it costs the same to upgrade DOS as to upgrade 1.x in Australia;
this is a bit of a nasty surprise to many (well, a few Aussies). I'm now 
very glad I didn't buy a copy of 1.3 for my own use!

Now, about those packs of Windows/386 I have in a cupboard somewhere...

Text follows:

IBM OS/2 Version 2.0 will be available for purchase and upgrade
as from 31st March 1992.
LAN Server and Extended Services will be available for purchase and
upgrade from 31st April 1992.
