What would be the difference between installing OS/2 standard edition and installing OS/2 extended edition, but not letting the installation program install communications manager, database manager...? - Gary Chapman

For the most part, I don't think you'll see much of a difference. The OS/2 EE kernel is built from the SE kernel, with IBM mostly adding new subsystems (like Comm and DB Mgr, etc..). Since OS/2 EE is normally built a few months after OS/2 SE has been released, the EE kernel does generally contain some fixes that aren't in the released SE, but sent out as a fix disk for SE. For OS/2 <= 1.2, another significant difference between SE and EE was the inclusion of Rexx in EE as a system command file language. With OS/2 1.3, Rexx is now part of SE, so that difference no longer exists. -- -- David -- /-----------------------------------------------------------------------\ \ David Bolen / | Laboratory Automation, IBM Thomas J.
