            º IBM Outlines Plan for Continued Enhancement º       96warp
            º       of OS/2 Warp in 1996 and Beyond       º
            +---------------------------------------------+
 
John W. Thompson, the recently appointed general manager of IBM's
Personal Software Products division, has outlined his plans for the
continued enhancement of the OS/2 Warp family in 1996 and beyond.
Speaking at COMDEX/Fall '95, he reinforced IBM's commitment to OS/2 and
the "connected consumer," and outlined key products planned for delivery
in 1996.
 
Thompson described plans for OS/2 Warp Server, currently in beta-test;
the next version of the OS/2 Warp client, code-named Merlin; the
microkernel-based versions of OS/2 Warp; and IBM's integrated server
series, code-named Project Eagle.
 
Targeting Connected Consumers and Corporate Users
-------------------------------------------------
 
"We are very interested in a specific kind of consumer as we move into
the age of network-centric computing: the connected user," said
Thompson. "We'll continue to provide them with a stable, powerful
operating system that gets easier to use and install with each release,
and gives them the reliable connections that are essential to linking up
with their customers, suppliers, business partners, or informational
sources."
 
Thompson also reinforced IBM's commitment to corporate users in
enterprise workgroup environments. "We remain committed to delivering
advanced solutions to our staunchest supporters: corporate users," he
said. Industry analysts are reporting significant growth in 1995 for
OS/2 Warp and LAN Server in the corporate market. According to IDC, OS/2
Warp will gain three share points of the total operating system market
by the end of the year. In the first half of 1995, OS/2 outshipped
Windows NT two to one in the server market. OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 has
increased its market share this year, from nine percent to 15 percent,
IDC added.
 
OS/2 Warp: The Next Generation
------------------------------
 
At the core of the 1996 product plan is the next version of the OS/2
Warp client, code-named Merlin. IBM plans to significantly enhance OS/2
Warp's user interface to be easier and more intuitive. As part of IBM's
plans for network-centric computing, the Merlin interface will be
network-aware, making connections automatically as the user needs them.
Merlin will offer improved multimedia and game capabilities, enhanced
plug-and-play features, and an updated BonusPak. It will include the
Upgrade Advisor, a utility in the Just Add OS/2 Warp kit which
simplifies the installation process.
 
Corporate Enhancements
----------------------
 
For corporate users, Merlin will offer C-2 security extensions and
improved input/output queue performance. It will include the Developer
API Extensions, to make it easier for software developers to write
Windows 95 and OS/2 Warp applications simultaneously. It will also
feature integrated OpenDoc runtime support, which will enable developers
to start using OpenDoc components in their applications, and give users
the ability to imbed OLE 2.0 information in OS/2 Warp documents.
 
Microkernel
-----------
 
Another focus of the 1996 product strategy will be the IBM Microkernel
and microkernel-based versions of OS/2 Warp. Nearly 20 corporations,
universities and research institutes worldwide have licensed the
microkernel, laying the foundation for a completely open microkernel
standard.  IBM plans portable, microkernel-based versions of OS/2 Warp
for both Intel and PowerPC platforms.  The first portable version will
be OS/2 Warp for the PowerPC, which will ship later this year.
 
Series of Servers
-----------------
 
Finally, on the server side, Thompson confirmed IBM's plans for a series
of cross-platform application and enabling servers, code-named Project
Eagle. OS/2 Warp Server, currently in beta-test, will be one of the base
operating systems upon which the Eagle series is delivered. OS/2 Warp
Server is expected to ship in the first quarter of 1996, followed by
Directory and Security Services and the SMP version of OS/2 Warp.
 
Bright Future
-------------
 
"The bottom line is that 1995 has been a good year for OS/2 Warp," said
Thompson. "And we're anticipating that the future will be even brighter
as we continue to extend and improve OS/2 Warp as the desktop client for
connected consumers and strengthen OS/2 Warp as an advanced,
battle-tested server solution that will simplify distributed computing
for businesses and workgroups of all sizes."

            º Developer API Extensions Beta for OS/2 Warp º      betaext
            º  Available on Developer Connection for OS/2 º
            +---------------------------------------------+
 
IBM announces the availability of the Developer API Extensions beta on
"The Developer Connection for OS/2, Volume 9" (DevCon9), which will ship
to developers by the end of this month.
 
Simplifying Migration of Win32 Apps to OS/2 Warp
------------------------------------------------
 
The Developer API Extensions for OS/2 Warp enable developers to write
applications using common source code for OS/2 Warp and Win32 platforms,
simplifying migration of existing Win32 applications to the OS/2 Warp
environment. The Developer API Extensions for OS/2 Warp, which have been
previewed by a select group of Windows and OS/2 developers in an early
application analysis program, will be distributed to the more than
22,000 developers worldwide who are members of the Solution Developer
Program for OS/2.
 
"Application developers in today's market are interested in reaching
every potential customer and meeting each opportunity head-on," said
John W. Thompson, general manager, IBM Personal Software Products. "The
availability of the Developer API Extensions on DevCon allows us to
deliver on our promise to developers to provide them with unmatched
tools, technologies, and support. IBM and the Developer API Extensions
are about supporting multiple solutions across multiple operating system
platforms in a heterogeneous environment."
 
Initial Experiences
-------------------
 
The Developer API Extensions and the preview program were introduced in
May at IBM's Technical Interchange conference in New Orleans. The early
analysis program includes hundreds of Windows and OS/2 developers, like
Lotus, Btrieve Technologies, Micro Focus, and other developers in the
U.S. and Europe, who are interested in maximizing their investment in
cross-platform software development. Developers in the program received
a copy of the Developer API Extensions beta last month and, through the
Solution Developer Program for OS/2, receive technical support from a
dedicated technical advocate for the duration of the program.
 
"We're extremely pleased with our initial experience using the Developer
API Extensions beta and working with IBM," said Rich Stadnik, president
of Stadnik and Company, Inc., a software development company. "This
technology gives us an efficient, effective way to move our
Windows-based ViaFax/2 client code to OS/2, allowing us to support mixed
environments. IBM has demonstrated its dedication and commitment to
application developers of all shapes and sizes, whether they develop
custom applications in-house or shrinkwrap software applications for
retail consumers, with unmatched technical support and a software
strategy designed to promote open, non-proprietary software solutions."
 
The IBM Developer API Extensions, which help software developers deliver
their applications across PC operating systems including OS/2 Warp,
Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and Windows 95, are extensions to the OS/2 Warp
interfaces. Since the extensions to OS/2 Warp are available in the Win32
environment, developers can maintain and enhance a single version of
source code across multiple platforms, reducing costs associated with
development, and creating an opportunity to take advantage of the
expanding OS/2 market.
 
"We were hired by a graphics software developer to adopt a
multi-platform deployment strategy for their products," added Peter
Fitzsimmons, president of A:Ware, a consulting firm. "Using the beta
version of the Developer API Extensions, we were amazed at how quickly
and easily we ported the Windows application to OS/2. More and more,
developers are finding customers who need one solution for their
melting-pot of different operating-system technologies running on both
servers and clients. IBM's technologies, like the Developer API
Extensions, meet the needs of customers and developers alike, regardless
of tools or platforms, setting the standard for the future of software."
 
Extensive Subset of Win32 APIs and Messages
-------------------------------------------
 
The Developer API Extensions are comprised of a subset of more than 700
APIs and 300 messages that are consistent with Win32 APIs and messages.
The subset includes the most commonly used Win32 base functions, and was
chosen based on the analysis of more than nine million lines of source
code from a variety of popular Windows applications. Windows
applications that use the APIs defined in the Developer API Extensions
can be recompiled to produce functionally equivalent OS/2 Warp
applications.
 
Development Tools, SMART, and OpenDoc
-------------------------------------
 
The Developer API Extensions add to the growing set of developer tools
and technologies available from IBM, including SMART and OpenDoc, that
allow ISVs to bring multiple-platform applications to market quickly and
easily.
 
The Source Migration Analysis Reporting Toolset (SMART), a product of
One UP Corporation, is a set of tools that help programmers readily
convert their Windows applications to OS/2. SMART analyzes existing
Windows code (16-bit or 32-bit) and OS/2 code (16-bit), sizes the
conversion effort, and automatically converts the majority of the code
to 32-bit OS/2 Warp. SMART version 2.1B has been enhanced to recognize
the IBM Developer API Extensions for OS/2, and will indicate which parts
of a Win32 application use the API Extensions and can be recompiled for
OS/2 Warp. It will also analyze the rest of the application and make
recommendations for the remainder of the development effort.
 
OpenDoc is a compound document architecture that enables the development
of object-oriented, cross-platform application components called OpenDoc
parts. OpenDoc will be supported across OS/2 Warp, Windows, Macintosh,
and UNIX (AIX). For developers who have already invested in the
proprietary OLE or Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) technologies, IBM
intends to provide utilities, tools, and services to assist with
conversion and source-code creation for the more open, cross-platform
OpenDoc and IBM Open Class.
 
Subscribers to The Developer Connection receive tools, software
technology, and information quarterly, including IBM-licensed SMART and
OpenDoc for OS/2, on the DevCon CD-ROM for use in OS/2 Warp development
efforts. The early release code of the OpenDoc for OS/2 tool kit has
been distributed to over 20,000 OS/2 developers, with more than 50 ISVs
developing components with OpenDoc. A pre-release version of OpenDoc for
AIX will also be available on DevCon9.
 
Additional Developer Support
----------------------------
 
Developers can access the OS/2 Warp home page through
http://www.austin.ibm.com to receive tools, information, and DevCon
updates. Developers also can use the home page to offer feedback, and
sign up for free membership in the Solution Developer Program for OS/2,
which provides technical support and assistance to developers working
with OS/2.
 
To assist OS/2 developers, IBM also sponsors Solution Partnership
Centers, located in San Mateo, Calif. and Waltham, Mass.  ISVs using the
centers have access to PC hardware and interaction with other software
developers, and receive technical support throughout the development
process in a lab environment.
 
Availability
------------
 
The final-version Developer API Extensions are expected to be available
in the first quarter of 1996, and will eventually be shipped as part of
the base OS/2 Warp operating system. The beta on DevCon9 is available
through a subscription to The Developer Connection by calling
1-800-6-DEVCON in the U.S.
 
Growing Support
---------------
 
Solution developer support of OS/2 Warp is growing. In 1995, 125
software developers have announced development plans for more than 200
new native OS/2 Warp applications on both Intel and PowerPC platforms,
in addition to the existing 2,500 OS/2 applications currently on the
market. There are nearly ten million users of OS/2 worldwide. Four
million copies of OS/2 Warp have been sold since November 1994. OS/2
Warp has won 23 industry awards, including editor's choice awards, user
awards, and technical awards.

                +-----------------------------------+
 
The IBM Product Compatibility Program provides an opportunity for
solution developers to gain increased visibility, marketability, and
credibility for their products.
 
Compatibility Testing Opportunity
---------------------------------
 
This program gives ISVs a testing opportunity to establish and
communicate the compatibility of their products with OS/2 Warp
standalone, clients, servers, and LAN systems.
 
Resource for Making Wise Purchases
----------------------------------
 
This program enables customers and their advisors to make product
purchase decisions with the confidence that a product has been tested
for compatibility with OS/2 Warp and LAN Server systems. Consultants,
resellers, integrators, OEMs, and other product decision-makers can
confidently use the list of compatible products in selecting products
that meet their customers' needs. Recommending compatible products can
help expedite buying decisions and protect a customer's investment.
 
Value of Tested Compatibility
-----------------------------
 
There are literally thousands of software products on the market today
to help solve customers' problems. The challenge is finding which
products are compatible and can be integrated into a customer's
environment.
 
Selecting tested compatible products gives buyers confidence in product
decisions and recommendations. Such confidence can speed up product
decisions and potentially lessen installation and support time.
 
Program Description
-------------------
 
There are several ways to achieve product compatibility.
 
The "Ready For.." option shows compatibility of a software product with
either OS/2 Warp or IBM LAN Server with OS/2 Warp. There is a self-test
option, and an option to have the National Software Testing Laboratory
(NSTL) test the product. The NSTL option is for stand-alone
compatibility with OS/2 Warp. Both the self-test and NSTL options are
free of charge.
 
The "Tested and Approved" option addresses a more sophisticated LAN
systems environment to show compatibility, interoperability, and
coexistence with many LAN products.
 
Ready for OS/2 Warp and Ready for OS/2 Warp LAN Server
------------------------------------------------------
 
The "Ready for OS/2 Warp" and "Ready for OS/2 Warp LAN Server" programs
offer software developers a set of IBM guidelines to self-test their
products for compatibility with a particular version of either OS/2 Warp
or IBM LAN Server with OS/2 Warp. The NSTL program provides testing at
the National Software Testing Laboratory.
 
This program, with some variations, also exists in some geographies
outside the USA and Canada. Developers outside of North America are
encouraged to contact their local IBM country representative for their
specific program benefits.
 
In the U.S., call 1-800-IBM-4FAX (1-800-426-4329) to request documents
3241 and 3242 for a list of compatible products under the Ready
self-test program. In Canada, call 1-800-HELP-FAX (1-800-435-7329). From
elsewhere, use a fax telephone to call 1-415-855-4329. Additional

                    º FAQ for Just Add OS/2 Warp º               faqjaow
                    +----------------------------+
 
Since Just Add OS/2 Warp became available a few weeks ago, the interest
has been gratifying. IBM's Web server has been extremely active with
downloads (a phrase that comes to mind is "on its knees"); the entire
run of diskette packages has been distributed; lots of free copies were
given out at COMDEX/Fall '95; and press reviews have been favorable.
 
With the overwhelming activity in downloads and the 800 number, it was
inevitable that some questions have arisen about the kit. Here are the
most common questions asked during the first few weeks -- and answers!
 
Creating the Kit
----------------
 
Q1. Which tool was used to create the kit?
 
A1. IBM Hyperwise was used to create the kit's textual content.
Hyperwise creates files in .INF format (among others), so they can be
viewed natively by the OS/2 help engine, VIEW.EXE. Hyperwise ships with
a Windows viewer as well, so the same .INF file can be viewed under all
of the operating environments supported by the Just Add OS/2 Warp kit.
Hyperwise provides drag-and-drop hypertext linking, graphic object
display support, and external program launch capability.
 
Unzipping
---------
 
Q2. I downloaded Just Add OS/2 Warp, and I get this message when trying
to unzip the distribution files: "Warning! I don't know how to handle:"
followed by all the file names. What am I doing wrong?
 
A2. DOS PKZIP 2.04 was used to create the .ZIP files. If the PKUNZIP
you're using doesn't handle PKZIP 2.04 format, you should be able to
download another UNZIP utility that will.
 
DOS Full-Screen Session
-----------------------
 
Q3. Why must the installation utility be run from a DOS full-screen
session? Don't you know that you can press Alt+Home from a DOS window
under OS/2 to turn it into a full screen?
 
A3. The installer scans your computer's hardware and video during the
installation sequence, and will not report video hardware and
resolution modes if run in a window. This prevents video corruption that
would be caused when the sniffer queries the video chip set.
 
You're right that Alt+Home changes to full screen under OS/2, as does
that "box with four arrows" button in Windows 95. If you know those
tricks, by all means use them. They were omitted from the kit in the
interest of simplicity, since it runs in all three environments -- OS/2
Warp, Windows 95, and DOS/Windows 3.1.
 
Program Icons
-------------
 
Q4. I installed Just Add OS/2 Warp, but I don't see any icons to start
it up. Where are they?
 
A4. The installation utility scans your hard drive for the existence of
DOS/Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and/or OS/2 Warp. As a precaution, it does
not scan any partition with less than 6 megabytes of free disk space, so
that it won't clobber your swap file or leave too little space to grow
your .INI files. Therefore, if your Windows or OS/2 is in a partition of
less than 6 MB, the installer won't find it. Also, if you have a highly
customized installation with OS files in non-default directory
structures, the kit may miss it in some instances.
 
If you have fewer than 6 MB of free disk space in your OS/2 or Windows
partitions, you may move files to other partitions or delete them to
free up 6 or more megabytes, then reinstall Just Add OS/2 Warp.
Alternately, you can manually create the program icons as follows:
 
o  OS/2 Warp
 
   Create a new program object by dragging the program template to your
   desktop. Enter these parameters in the settings notebook:
 
   Program tab
      Path and file name: VIEW.EXE
      Parameters:         d:\JUST_ADD\BOOKS\JAOWO.INF
      Working directory:  d:\
      General tab title:  Just Add OS/2 Warp
      Current icon:       Find d:\JUST_ADD\JUSTADDO.ICO
 
   where d: is the drive where you chose to install Just Add OS/2 Warp.
 
   Then close the settings notebook to create the icon on your OS/2
   desktop.
 
o  Windows 95
 
   In the following steps, d: is the drive where you chose to install
   Just Add OS/2 Warp.
 
   Click on the open desktop with mouse button 2 (right mouse button by
   default) and select "New -> Shortcut" from the popup menu. Enter
   these parameters in the Create Shortcut wizard:
 
     Command line: d:\JUST_ADD\VIEW.EXE d:\JUST_ADD\BOOKS\JAOW.INF
 
   Select "Next" button or press Enter.
 
   Select a name for the shortcut:
 
     Just Add OS2 Warp
 
   (Note that Windows 95 does not allow a "/" character in a file name).
 
   Select "Finish" button or press Enter.
 
   This creates a program shortcut with the default VIEW.EXE icon. To
   change to the Just Add OS/2 Warp icon, click on the Just Add OS/2
   Warp shortcut with mouse button 2, and select "Properties".
 
   Select the "Shortcut" tab and press the "Change icon..." button.
   Enter this parameter:
 
     File name: C:\FILESYNC\JUSTADDW.ICO
 
   Select the "OK" button.
   Select the "OK" button again.
 
o  DOS plus Windows 3.1
 
   In the following steps, d: is the drive where you chose to install
   Just Add OS/2 Warp.
 
   From the Windows 3.1 program manager menu bar, select "File", then
   "New...".
 
   Select the "Program Group" radio button, and press "OK".
   Enter these parameters:
 
     Description: Just Add OS/2 Warp
     Group file:  JAOW.GRP
 
   Press "OK".
 
   Open the Just Add OS/2 Warp group you just created, and select
   "File", then "New...", from the program manager menu bar.
 
   Select the "Program Item" radio button, and press "OK".
   Enter these parameters:
 
     Description:  Just Add OS/2 Warp
     Command Line: d:\JUST_ADD\VIEW.EXE d:\JUST_ADD\BOOKS\JAOW.INF
     Working Directory: d:\
 
   Select the "Change Icon..."  button, and enter this parameter:
 
     File Name:  C:\FILESYNC\JUSTADDW.ICO
 
   Select the "OK" button.
   Select the "OK" button again.
 
   Select "File", then "New..."  from the program manager menu bar.
   Select the "Program Item" radio button, press "OK."
   Enter these parameters:
 
     Description:  Go To OS/2 Warp
     Command Line: C:\FILESYNC\GOTOWARP.EXE C:\FILESYNC\GOTOWARP.TXT
     Working Directory: C:\FILESYNC
 
   Select the "Change Icon..." button, and enter this parameter:
 
     File Name: C:\FILESYNC\GOTOWARP.EXE
 
   Select the "OK" button.
   Select the "OK" button again.
 
Now you will be able to launch Just Add OS/2 Warp from your OS/2 Warp or
Windows 95 desktop, and/or from the DOS/Windows 3.1 Program Manager.
 
Compressed Partitions
---------------------
 
Q5. The OS/2 Warp Upgrade Advisor says that I have enough hard-drive
space to install OS/2 Warp, but OS/2 won't install on my PC. Why not?
 
A5. If you have installed the disk compression that ships with Microsoft
DOS 6.x or Windows 95, or have installed a compression utility such as
Stacker, and if you run the Upgrade Advisor from Windows 95 or Windows
3.1, it will appear that there is sufficient free space. OS/2 Warp,
however, cannot be installed to a compressed partition. Run the
uncompress utility that came with your compression software, install
OS/2 Warp, then use an OS/2-compatible compression tool such as Stacker
for OS/2 and DOS to recompress your partition. Stacker for OS/2 and DOS
is compatible with both OS/2 and DOS, and therefore can be used in the
dual-boot environment supported by Just Add OS/2 Warp.
 
IBM PC Model 95
---------------
 
Q6. The OS/2 Warp Upgrade Advisor doesn't see the memory I have
installed on my IBM PC model 95. Why not?
 
A6. The model 95 has unique hardware protection characteristics that
block access to the memory ports under OS/2 by any application other
than the operating system itself. If you have Windows 3.1 or Windows 95
installed, dual-boot to that environment, and re-run ADVISOR.BAT,
following the instructions in the READ.ME file.
 
FILESYNC Directory
------------------
 
Q7. I chose to install Just Add OS/2 Warp to a drive other than C:, yet
it placed the FILESYNC directory on C: anyway. Why?
 
A7. The FILESYNC directory contains the files needed to run the Windows
95 to OS/2 Warp Dual Boot and the Long File Name Conversion utilities.
These utilities were placed on C: because DOS and Windows 95 can only
boot from drive C:, and can therefore reliably locate these utilities.
The majority of Just Add OS/2 Warp is contained in the JUST_ADD and
OS2DEMO directories, which are installed to your choice of drive.
 
Filename Changes
----------------
 
Q8. While running under OS/2 Warp, I changed the name of a file that was
created in Windows 95. When I dual-boot back to Windows 95, I don't see
the changed file. Have I lost that file?
 
A8. The file is still there, under its old name. The Long File Name
Migration utility is a one-way street, migrating Windows 95 long file
names into OS/2 long file names. By the way, the physical name on the
disk is still in the 8.3 format traditionally used by the DOS FAT file
system, so the file can always be accessed by its old-fashioned name as
well.
 
Different Versions
------------------
 
Q9. What is the difference between the download, diskette, and CD-ROM
versions of Just Add OS/2 Warp?
 
A9. The download and diskette versions are identical. The CD-ROM version
is identical to the diskette version, with the addition of a very
interesting multimedia video production about OS/2 Warp installation
tips, usability tricks, and general how-to, featuring that Warped
man-about-town, David Barnes.
 
Your Right to Choose
--------------------
 
Based on the numbers of questions received relative to the number of
copies distributed, it appears that the vast majority of users have
found that Just Add OS/2 Warp works well for them.
 
We hope that this free kit of information and utilities is useful for
you, and that you will exercise your right to choose, and give OS/2 Warp
a try. Thanks for loading Just Add OS/2 Warp!
