To give a little more respect to the DevCon CD's... remember: that's *6*
FULL Cd's of Documentation, source code, software ( Including some
major packages! ), source for DIVE, MMPM, everything.... *4* times a year
for only $199
http://www.developer.ibm.com/www/sdp/DevCon/OS2/dcOS2.html
Will answer all your questions, if anyone has any.

DevCon 9 full product list is included below. When I first saw this, I
throught it was a joke! ( Too good to be true )
There are hundereds of dollars of software on these CD's
