Yes, they do.  A draft copy of the manual is contained on the 2.1 beta
CD-ROM.  THERE WILL BE A REAL MANUAL IN 2.1 SHRINKWRAP.

As for distribution, I'm sure they want to get it done right.  We'll
only know about it when it happens.

	The Docs included with OS/2 far outshine the "Concise Guide to Windows
3.1" included with our AST computer.  I first blamed it on AST, but the title
page says "Microsoft Press".

I don't want to eat up bandwidth...but this is perhaps the most important post 
I've seen related to the success of os/2!  Make upgrades available at the local
software store too!!!  Don't make me wait three months to get the upgrade to 2.1
