Everybody keeps talking about OS2 Standard Edition and Extended Edition. In addition to this there is various talk about the PM (presentation manager). The PM is I assume the GUI for OS2. This is my question; What comes with which "edition" and where does the PM come in? pasquale@sgl.ists.ca

OS/2 Standard Edition is just the OS/2 operating system. OS/2 Extended Edition is the OS/2 operating system plus Communications Manager, LAN Requester, and Database Manager. With OS/2 2.0, Standard Edition and Extended Edition will be no more. The Communications Manager and DataBase Manager will be sold separate from the main package and the LAN Requester will be bundled with IBM's LAN Server product. tim LAN ADmin International IS&DP 3M, Inc.
