Actually, the license to use the materials on the October OS/2 PDK has
expired.  According to the legalese, you cannot use any code from that
CD-ROM past December 15, 1992.  (IBM wants to keep everyone on fresh
code, since that October code is getting stale.)

The November OS/2 Professional Developer's Kit CD-ROM is now
the only one available.  You can order it in the U.S. by calling
800-3-IBM-OS2.  Cost is $15 (only a shipping charge; they ship
Airborne).  It contains just about everything on the October CD-ROM,
updated, plus, notably, a C++ compiler (beta).  LAN Server 3.0 (beta)
is no longer on the CD-ROM because it is now a shipping product.

That same telephone number can be used to order the OS/2 2.1 beta on
CD-ROM.  Cost is $15 for that as well.  That CD-ROM includes OS/2 2.1
base operating system beta, MMPM/2 (multimedia extensions for OS/2),
and Toolkit 2.1 beta.

Correction: I posted earlier that there is a December PDK CD-ROM (with
all the tools on it plus this new 2.1 code).  That appears not to be
the case.  If you want OS/2 2.1 beta with all the PDK tools, order
both CD-ROMs.
