I have maintained a network file and app server that was running Lan
Manager 2.1 Advanced, and the OS presented itself as Microsoft OS/2 ver
1.30. Of course, the OS did not tell who actually did the coding.

From the kernel file:
'Internal revision 7.224MS, 91/06/24'

Os2loader presented itself on the screen like this:
Microsoft (R) Operating System/2 Version 1.3
