[comp.os.os2.misc] Getting OS/2 2.0

larrys@watson.ibm.com (larrys) (06/27/91)

Okay, here's an update.  I know I've told many of you (via email) to try
and become a member of the Early Experience Program.  Well, I've been
told that neither the EEP nor the Developer's Assistance Program (DAP)
include the development tools needed to write applications for OS/2 2.0.

However, Boca is working on other plans to get "John Doe" into another
program.  I have been told by others that July 15 is D-Day for this to
take effect, IF and WHEN it gets "blessed" by upper management.  I have
no other details, nor has the date been confirmed by anyone in Boca, so
take all of this a STRICTLY RUMOR.

So, sit tight.  Either go through the IBM dealers (see below) or cross
your fingers and hope that IBM decides that you guys really are worth it
(I BELIEVE SO!).

If your IBM dealers don't know what the h@#$ they are talking about, tell
them to call 1-800-IBM-2468 and IBM will set them straight.
