- This is the list, as of the date shown above, of all fixes placed by
- Department 17J on either OS2CSD or OS2TOOLS. Other 2.0 fixes are not
- supported by the Boca Technical Group. All fixes listed here may be
- distributed externally. The difference between OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS is
- that OS2CSD is for fixes, and the individual files will be removed when
- a service release is done. The service release will then be placed on
- OS2CSD in its place. OS2TOOLS will hold 'enhancements' and utilities
- for OS/2 2.0.
-
- All fixes are on External BBS's and CIS except where noted. In some
- case the EXTERNAL name may be different and is so noted. When the names
- are the same, external names have the ZIP extension.
-
- NOTE: Access to IBM's OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS repositories is available to
- IBM personnel only.
