	     The latest is LanMan 2.0.  I believe it was released sometime
	     early this month (November).

             Someone from Microsoft care to answer?  Not talking for
	     Microsoft, I believe you got to be an OEM.

             I think the OS/2 LanMan SQL server has been out for at least
	     a year and I believe it is marketed by Aston-Tate.

             I believe it is available from IBM as an upgrade.  Alternatively
	     if you are an OEM, you should be able to get it.

             There is a small and growing number of PD programs for OS/2 but
	     I'm not sure if there is any PD PM-specific development tools.

 You're welcome.
