Call the standard 1-800-3-IBMOS2 number, ask for the PDK CDROM, answer
questions, decide whether to get just the CD ($15) or CD plus the 
$10 diskette [this seems outrageously priced in comparison, dunnit?]
with the AT&T Class Libs - about 100k of header files, but needed for 
C++ compiler experimentation; you decide if you need it.
 
There is a tremendous variety of software on the CD, and it does
essentially include a beta of OS2 2.1, or whatever they decide to label
it at release - that is, there is OS2 with Win3.1 support, but it is
not the latest version of the beta, the IBM internal version which 
apparently has some improvements. The CD version is newer than the
previous WinOS23.1 beta's, however, so it should be more workable.

It also contains the Service Pack, in both 3.5 and 5.25 disk image
form, so you can set up several combinations of OS2 2.x and see
which works best, or, perhaps, which can crash hardest :-)
