Explanation of names of zipped files for 1993 Issue 7 and later:

  DSNymA = Developer Support News 199y issue m ASCII (plain-text)
  DSNymI = Developer Support News 199y issue m .INF  (use OS/2 VIEW)
  DSNymP = Developer Support News 199y issue m .PS   (PostScript)

where y = last digit of year (3, 4, ...)
      m = issue number represented as alpha (A=1, ..., G=7, H=8, ...)

For example, DSN3GI is 1993 issue 7, the 15 October issue, in .INF
format (after being unzipped).

The zipped files are found on several e-mail and BBS systems:

o America Online, in the OS/2 forum, in the Newsletters library
o CompuServe, in OS2DF2 forum, *DAP library section 14
    and in OS2DF1 forum, OPEN FORUM library section 15
o GEnie, in OS/2 Software Library 16

o IBM Canada BBS, in file area 35, OS/2 Programming
o IBM Europe/Middle East/Africa (E/ME/A) DAP BBS, in file area
    GENERAL.DOCS

o IBM OS2BBS (TALKLink), in OS/2 Software Library, in Documents and Info
o IBM Personal Computer Company BBS, in file area 11, OS/2 Programming
o Internet, via anonymous ftp from software.watson.ibm.com, in
    directory /pub/os2/info; or via Gopher from index.almaden.ibm.com,
