Sorry, I was not aware that this is the case.  To my knowledge, IBM
wants $199 (US) plus shipping for an annual subscription to the
Developer Connection on CD, which comes out 4 times a year.  I
received my copy as a promotional "extra" with some other merchandise,
and figured I would pass it on cheaply to some one else who could use
it (and didn't want to pay $$$ to IBM).

Given the number of people who responded, I'd say there are lots of
folks on the net who'd like to try OS/2 cheaply (or free), so if IBM
really is giving these CDROM's away free, please post the phone
number.  There are many who would be greatful.
