Norcross, Ga. From: tok@slammer.UUCP (Terry Kane) Subject: OS/2 2.0beta availability Date: 24 Apr 91 15:53:38 GMT As I promised to pass on details regarding the download of OS/2 2.0beta, here is Bulletin 3 from IBM's NSC PCUG bbs [(404) 835-6600]. Nota Bene: IBM has placed legal restriction on redistribution of this code. They are gracious enough to make it available, so I hope this policy will not be abused. > We have prepared a system to download a complete set of > OS/2 Version 2.0 BETA CODE. > > The phone number is (404) 835-6381. > > You will need to register on the new system as a new user. > > When you log-on to the BETA CODE BBS all you can do is download > the OS/2 BETA CODE driver. > > If you have problems with the BETA CODE BBS during your > download session, please leave a message to SYSOP in > message base 30 of this BBS. > In conference on the NSC bbs, the sysop states that the complete download takes ~5 hours at 9600 baud, and that the disk usage is ~18 mb. You can not dl selectively. If you need to reget pieces, you must start over at the beginning. You can not break your dl into sessions. Users have reported CRC errors in some pieces of the dl, have had to start over, and have requested select-ability in the dl. Perhaps they will modify the "start it over" restriction in the near future! cheers.
