- Note that the Service Pak (available from software.watson.ibm.com and
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu) is not recommended for non-U.S. editions of OS/2
- 2.0. You should use the national language version of the Service Pak
- for your country. Now, I don't know if that's causing this specific
- problem, but all bets are off when you apply the Service Pak to
- anything but the U.S. edition.
