Via FIDOnet - which we also get here on Actrix - I have heard that this delay
was due to the 2.1 beta going wide release. They want to be certain that DCF/2
will work with it. Their beta testers were calling them up asking if DCF/2
would work with the 2.1 beta.....so they decided to make sure it would. The
rumoured new date is Jan 30th. 
 
This one should stick, as i have heard that the code for OS/2 2.1 has been
finalised.......(correct me if I am wrong, folks......rumours are rumours!)
