I dunno. I got OS/2 1.0 from a friend who couldn't boot it. I sent in the
update card and have been able, with little trouble, to get IBM 1.1, 1.2,
1.2 November Update, and 1.3 totally free and with no hassles whatsoever.
Also free copies of SideKick PM 1.0 and 2.0 ... just by sending in the
cards and keeping my ears open for upgrade information when a new version
was forthcoming.
