In addition to the November PDK, IBM also has what the person at 800-3IBM-OS2
called the AT&T developers kit.  It cost $25(U.S.).  She also told me that
it included the C/C++ compiler and development tools.  Beyond that she
didn't know much.  I went ahead and ordered it though.  I was told that it would
be here within a week.  Does anyone know what I bought?

				Thanks,
