<<< OS/2 2.0 Service Pack Advance Information >>> Subject : OS/2 2.0 Service Pack Advance Information SERVICE PACK ADVANCE INFORMATION IBM intends to produce two versions of a Service Pack 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 Pack is installed. The second version of the Service Pack will only contain fixes for OS/2 2.0. Both of these Service Packs are designed to be applied to the OS/2 2.0 product as released in April, 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 Pack without the 32-bit Graphics Engine. The version of the Service Pack containing the 32-bit Graphics Engine is targeted to be available electronically at the end of September via IBM LINK OS/2 BBS, CIS, NSC BBS, INTERNET, IBM CANADA OS2BBS, and other external sources. Diskette availability will depend on manufacturing schedules and constraints. The target is currently the middle of October. The version of the Service Pack without the 32-bit Graphics Engine is targeted to be available electronically around the end of October/EARLY November, with diskette availability approximately two weeks later. The APAR's currently available for inclusion in the Service Packs are listed below. Please bear in mind that this is a preliminary list. IBM continues to make and test additional fixes and currently has fixes for 60-80 additional APARs in final code and test. APARs will be added as testing completes. 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. Full Service Pack contents, delivery mechanisms, and availability will be announced once the Service Packs are completed and schedules are formalized.
