As it turns out, the 12/92 CDROM shipped by the fullfillment center
(Order Number CD122292 -- the 12/22/92 CDROM) is NOT a PDK -- this
CDROM contains:  (1) OS/2 2.1 beta, (2) MMPM/2, (3) the Developer's
Toolkit [this confused the fullfillment center staffer into calling
the Dec 92 CDROM a PDK], and (4) a debug version of the OS2 kernel.

The most recent PDK is CD111692 (the 11/16/92 CDROM) which includes
the CSet2 compiler, documentation, TCP/IP support, etc.  However, it
may be missing support for LanServer (which was included on Oct '92
CDROM) and possibly a few other previously released beta materials.
Tech Support advised me to get both Oct and Nov CDROMs for my work
[distributed scientific image acquisition/processing system] -- but
so far the fullfillment center can only find the Nov 92 PDK in their
database.  IBM National Support OS Help Center is trying to find the
Oct 92 PDK order number for me right now.

Sorry about the mistake.  The 12/92 CDROM is definitely NOT the PDK!

Thanks, AJ
